Randonnée Pédestre État De New York Randonnée pédestre État de New York Chapitre tiré du guide À propos de l’auteur Yves Séguin est né à Sainte-Rose de Laval en 1961. Dès son enfance, il découvre la nature, les montagnes et les lacs des Laurentides, grâce au chalet familial près de La Conception. À l’âge de 16 ans, il parcourt l’Ouest canadien et tombe sous le charme des montagnes Rocheuses. Le goût des voyages, de l’aventure, des grands espaces et des activités de plein air fera désormais partie intégrante de son mode de vie. Il entreprend alors, tour à tour, un voyage à vélo dans les provinces atlantiques, des ascensions en escalade de rocher (dont le cap Trinité, au Saguenay, et El Capitan, en Californie), en escalade de glace (dont la Pomme d’Or, dans la région de Charlevoix), de nombreuses randonnées à skis ainsi que des centaines de randonnées pédestres. Passionné de culture autant que d’aventure, Yves découvre ainsi plusieurs pays d’Amérique du Nord, d’Amérique centrale, d’Europe et d’Afrique du Nord. Éducateur physique, Yves est titulaire d’un baccalauréat de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) depuis 1991 ainsi que d’un certificat en sciences de l’éducation de la même université depuis 1994. Il œuvre dans le domaine du plein air (randonnée pédestre, escalade, vélo, ski de fond, etc.) depuis une quinzaine d’années et a été recherchiste pour l’émission de télévision Oxygène (1992-1993). Il a aussi été forma- teur en randonnée pédestre et en orientation (carte et boussole) pour le programme de formation à la Fédération québécoise de la marche. Yves a signé la chronique hebdomadaire Oxygène durant l’année 1995 à La Presse. En 1997, il a remporté le deuxième prix lors du Prix Molson de journalisme en loisir, catégorie périodiques. À l’été 1998, il a été chroniqueur radio à l’émission D’un soleil à l’autre (Radio- Canada). Il est aussi journaliste pigiste depuis de nombreuses années. Yves Séguin est l’auteur ou co-auteur des guides: y Randonnée pédestre au Québec; y Randonnée pédestre Nord-Est des États-Unis; y Marché à Montréal et ses environs; y Raquette et ski de fond au Québec; y Le Sentier transcanadien au Québec; y Costa Rica (co-auteur Francis Giguère); y Tunisie (co-auteure Marie-Josée Guy). Il a aussi collaboré à la recherche et à la rédaction des guides Le Québec, Montréal, Grand Canyon et Arizona et Sud-Ouest américain. Tous ces guides sont publiés par les Guides de voyage Ulysse. 3 Randonnée pédestre État de New York Les Adirondacks 5 La région de Saint Huberts 35 La région de l’Adirondak Loj 14 La région de Whiteface La région et le nord 46 de Keene 23 Index 54 La région de Keene Valley 28 ulyssesguides.com Perth Smith Falls Massena Malone Ellenburg 4 0 60 120km Plattsburg 0 35 70mi Ogdensburg Poke-o-Moonshine DENEWYORK ÉTAT Brockville Postdam ONTARIO Canton 3 Keeseville Burlington (Canada) 9N Lac Saranac Champlain Gananoque Lake Lake 89 Gouverneur Placid Essex VERMONT Kingston Tupper N 3 Lake Keene Harrisville 73 Adirondack Mount Marcy Oshawa Newcastle Watertown 9 Markham Park 7 Blue Mountain Lake 87 81 Indian 28 Toronto 28 Lake Lac Ontario CANADA 4 Mississauga ÉTATS-UNIS 30 Lake George 8 Glens 30 Albion Falls Niagara Rome St. Falls Rochester Catharines Niagara Syracuse Utica Falls Batavia Welland 90 Buffalo 90 Schenectady Troy Lac Pen Yan MASS.

  • 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.
