I hope there will be something for everyone, enough different kinds of geology that you can get your hooks into sonething that interests you. The trip will focus on the hard rocks and their petrologic and structural evolution. We wiLl concentrate on niddle to late Proterozoic rocks of the Adirondack nassif, which is a good rePresentative of the Grenville tectonic province of the Laurentian shield. On Sunday we will examine the western edge of the Ordovician Appalactrian orogen, in the thrust faults of the Taconic range east of the Adirondacks. lle will evah.rate whether the Paleozoic defonnation affected Adirondack rocks. We will canp three nights. Thursday night will be spent at Haopton Beach campgronnd on Sacandaga Lake north of Gloversville, on the south nargin of the Adirondack region. Friday night will be at the KOA campgror:nd at llhiteface Mountain, north oflake Placid. Saturday night will be at Rogers Rock canpground on Lake George near Ticondetoga. We w111 arri-ve hone in Newark very late on Sunday night. Bring your very warrrcst and very driest clothing and outdoor gear. I'11 bet it still gets nighty cold at night, and there are oceans of mud everlmhere. Field boots required. Ha@er, hand lens required. Ihis guidebook is organized in tso sections - explanatory PaPers, and road logs/stop descriptions. We will use previously published trips. The initial paper, by tltritney, is an overview of the Adirondacks as a whole. Following that are three paPefs on the Southern Adirondacks by Jin [cle1land, emphasizing the structure, geochronology/history, and petrology of that region. ttreri are nany more stops than we can possibty visit, but at least we have a choice. ltre actual stoPs visited will depend on time, energy, newrress of the geology, and other factors. I urge you before the trip to color some of the inportant EaPs, especially those on pages 33, 34, 35, 58 and 50. ***dssislillWiwiY[f $tii,rt,,,i,,,i,,, Q*P Nsn enclqh,. bosJ onW lfinr*b -----i-,,-- / [ ---'--\\\\"? ."'^l*o.*,ru i \ \., i TARSUNDITE \ 'ti; "/loPDAurE\oo- MANGERITE \ JOTUNITE Ortho f'Yroxene ': I M ,' Cf$rrfe : I AOAIA.uIE : I \; !

It is made available by the Adirondack Research Library (ARL) of the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks. It is hoped that it may serve as a 'starter set' of basic information leading to more in-depth research. Can the ARL further serve your research needs? To find out, visit our web page, or even better, visit the ARL at the Center for the Forest Preserve, 897 St. David's Lane, Niskayuna, N.Y., 12309. The ARL houses one of the finest collections available of books and periodicals, manuscripts, maps, photographs, and private papers dealing with the Adirondacks. Its volunteers will gladly assist you in finding answers to your questions and locating materials and contacts for your research projects.

  • Concept Plan for a Hut-To-Hut Destination-Based Trail System
    Table of Contents Page Preface 2 Introduction 3 The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging Concept 3 Destination Trails: Circuits, Traverses, and Spur Trails 5 Lodging 6 Keys to Success 8 Proposed Conceptual Routes 10 1. The Process 2. Prioritized List of Routes 3. Route Descriptions & Maps General Recommendations 102 Summary 104 Appendix - Glossary 108 References 111 Preface Although this project has the complexity of a long-term project, our work has been conducted over a relatively short four-month time frame. Attempts were made to reach out to as many stakeholders as possible. In spite of the fact that we traveled many existing trails in the process of exploring potential routes, it was impossible to explore all of these to our desired level of detail. Our task was to propose routes in the Five Towns region of the central Adirondack Park that will comprise part of a parkwide hut-to-hut destination-trail system. It is important to keep in mind two things: the proposed routes are conceptual in nature, with proposed strategic locations for lodging and suggestions for new sections of trail; and, our directive was to “think out of the box” regarding what might be required to make the destination trails and lodging system a reality. While we think exploring the use of temporary lodging on Forest Preserve lands is a legitimate exercise given the current permitted use of temporary hunting camps, we recognize the need to ensure that all the concepts shared in this report are consistent with Article XIV. In addition, we must ensure that these concepts adhere to pertinent rules and regulations or recognize that, perhaps in some cases, existing regulations may need to be modified.
