Randonnée Pédestre État De New York Classification des randonnées Les randonnées suggérées sont classées selon trois niveaux de diffi- culté : facile, difficile, très difficile. Ces niveaux sont représentés dans le guide à l’aide du symbole M. M (facile) : Randonnée courte où la dénivellation est peu importante (ex. : 4 km, 50 m de dénivel- lation). MM (difficile) : Randonnée longue où la dénivellation est peu importante (ex. : 15 km, 200 m). Randonnée courte où la dénivellation est importante (ex. : 5 km, 400 m). MMM (très difficile) : Randonnée longue où la dénivellation est importante (ex. : 15 km, 600 m). Randonnée extrêmement longue (ex. : 23 km, 200 m). Randonnée où la dénivellation est très importante (ex. : 8 km, 780 m). Notez que les randonnées ne sont pas comparées entre elles sur un même lieu de marche. Elles le sont par rapport à tous les sites de randonnée pédestre que l’on retrouve dans le nord-est des États-Unis. 1 longueur du sentier D dénivelé du sentier â point de départ du sentier Label Ulysse r Les coups de cœur de l’auteur, signalés par un label Ulysse, sont attri- bués pour les qualités particulières d’un site de randonnée pédestre (réseau et entretien des sentiers, attraits remarquables, beautés natu- relles, services proposés, etc.).

Mais si l’on fait abstraction de la ville de New York L’ (8,5 millions d’habitants, soit un peu plus que la population du Québec), cet État ne peut être considéré comme surpeuplé. D’ailleurs, lorsqu’on se promène dans les campagnes ou dans les régions montagneuses, on s’y croirait volontiers au Québec ou dans un petit État de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. On y trouve quantité de petits villages sympathiques où les résidents renseignent le visiteur avec sourire et attention. L’État de New York est situé à l’ouest de la Nouvelle-Angleterre (formée des États du Vermont, du New Hampshire, du Maine, du Massachusetts, du Connecticut et du Rhode Island). S’étendant des chutes du Niagara, à l’ouest, au lac Champlain, à l’est, en passant par Long Island, il est très diversifié en matière de paysages, mais également en ce qui concerne les modes de vie. La grande richesse culturelle qu’apportent les nombreuses communautés ethniques repré- sentées dans cet État est unique et permet des découvertes surpre- nantes à tout moment de l’année. La capitale est Albany, une ville de près de 100 000 habitants située au centre-est de l’État, environ à mi- chemin entre les villes de New York et de Plattsburgh. Le point le plus élevé est le mont Marcy (1 629 m ou 5 344 pi), dans les Adirondacks. Les Adirondacks Le parc des Adirondacks (Adirondack Park, visitadirondacks.com) couvre une superficie de 24 300 km2, ce qui en fait le plus grand parc d’État des États-Unis et la plus grande aire protégée du pays, en excluant les parcs nationaux de l’Alaska. Il est aussi vaste que tout Les Adirondacks l’État du Vermont! – Situé dans le nord de l’État de New York et à près de 200 km au sud de Montréal, le parc n’attire pas que les amoureux de la randonnée pédestre. On peut également y pratiquer la bicyclette, le canot, l’orni- thologie, l’escalade de rochers, l’escalade de glace, le ski de fond, la raquette, la chasse, la pêche, etc. Il s’agit d’un parc d’État (State Park) New York et non d’un parc national (National Park). Il est donc géré par l’État de New York. Le parc offre tous les services et installations nécessaires pour un séjour de plein air. Outre le nombre grandissant de Québécois qui y séjournent, les randonneurs proviennent des grandes villes du nord-est des États-Unis telles que New York, Boston, Philadelphie guidesulysse.com et Buffalo. 13 La région de l’Adirondak Loj Mount Jo f Mount Van Hoevenberg M M 1 boucle de 4 km (2,5 mi) 1 7 km (4,4 mi) 0 1h30 0 2h45 D 213 m D 225 m â du stationnement de l’Adirondak Loj â sur la South Meadow Road, à 0,5 km (voir p. 8). de l’Adirondak Loj Road.

  • NYSDEC & AMR Pilot Reservation System
    Updated 04/15/21 NYSDEC & AMR Pilot Reservation System DEC and the Adirondack Mountain Reserve (AMR) launched a no-cost pilot reservation system to address public safety at a heavily traveled stretch on Route 73 in the town of Keene in the Adirondack High Peaks. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve is a privately owned 7,000-acre land parcel located in the town of Keene Valley that allows for limited public access through a conservation easement agreement with DEC. The pilot reservation system does not apply to other areas in the Adirondack Park. The reservation system, operated by AMR, will facilitate safer public access to trailheads through the AMR gate and for Noonmark and Round mountains and improve visitors' trip planning and preparation by ensuring they have guaranteed parking upon arrival. In recent years, pedestrian traffic, illegal parking, and roadside stopping along Route 73 have created a dangerous environment for hikers and motorists alike. These no-cost reservations will be required May 1 through Oct. 31, 2021. Reservations will be required for parking, daily access, and overnight access to these specific trails. Visitors can make reservations beginning April 15 at hikeamr.org. Walk-in users without a reservation will not be permitted. o There is no cost associated with making a reservation. o Those arriving to Keene Valley via Greyhound or Trailways bus lines may present a valid bus ticket from within 24 hours of arrival to the AMR parking lot attendant in lieu of a reservation. o Those being dropped off or arriving by bicycle must check in at the AMR Hiker Parking Lot and produce a valid reservation.

I was fortunate enough to ski into the Boreas Ponds once this winter. It’s a 6.7 mile ski one way to the dam.
