Quiet in the Adirondacks

People say that the Adirondacks are overcrowded but that’s never really been the experience of mine from the places I like to visit.

A few weekends back, camping on Pumpkin Hollow Road I think I saw two people walk by and then passed somebody at a hunting camp but other than that I was all alone. The hunting camp is a quarter mile up the road and the next campsite is over a mile away. Hiking to Wilcox Lake via the Wilcox-Willis trail I did not see a single person except at the camp, nor at Wilcox Lake.

 Upper Pumpkin Hollow Road

I have to admit one time I went to Giant Mountain in the High Peaks and started up it. Not for one with a fear of heights with the open rock face. It was okay early in the morning but between the eroded trail and the open rock faces, I turned around. Nice scenery on the way up but steep. Seems like the whole area though is very overused when there are places closer to home which are quieter and with many other delights.

 East

If you visit many parts of the Adirondacks you will have the solitude you desire. More popular locations off season also are quite quiet. There is no reason to fight the crowds in the wilderness when there is plenty of locations where nobody really ever goes. Maybe less photographed or featured in magazines but still delightful wilderness.
