Why it works

The Adirondack High Peaks are one of the most popular peak-bagging challenges in the eastern US, with the 46er tradition drawing hikers to all 46 peaks above 4,000 feet — accurate trail and summit route detail is essential for navigating the complex High Peaks trail network. The area's lean-to reservation system and the wilderness's permit requirements make accurate shelter location mapping important for planning overnight trips. Waterproof construction survives the Adirondacks' frequent rain and the variable weather common on the High Peaks' exposed summits.

Ideal for

Hikers, peak baggers, backpackers, and Adirondack 46er aspirants exploring the High Peaks Wilderness and Lake Placid area. See also NGTI743 (Lake Placid & High Peaks) for additional coverage.
