Hamilton County

Hamilton County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. Its county seat is Lake Pleasant. It is one of only two counties that lie entirely within the Adirondack Park (Essex is the other). As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,836, making it the least populous county in New York. It is also the most sparsely populated county in the eastern half of the United States, with a population density of just over three people per square mile.

Hamilton County is in the north central part of the state, northwest of Albany. It lies entirely within Adirondack Park and consists mostly of publicly owned parkland. As the tourist folk will tell you, there is no permanent traffic light in the county.

Trash Pile Next to Helipad

I was wondering how this trash ended up top of the mountain, but after thinking about it a bit, it probably was trash from the ranger's cabin, that was dumped here some time in the past, and was dug up in the re-construction of the helipad.

Observers Cabin

From the Wakley Mountain Fire Tower. I've heard it has been restored and worked on quite a bit since I was there 15 years ago.
