Adirondack Poetry: "Beneath every stone hides a poem" The following bibliography was developed by SLU student Holly Brown ’14 during a summer fellowship in Special Collections, Owen D. Young Library, St. Lawrence University with library staff from special collections and digital collections… In her 1958 bibliography, Dorothy Plum took a broad geographic view of what the “Adirondack” region included. Upon consideration, we have narrowed our definition somewhat. For the purposes of this bibliography an Adirondack poem is • Set within the administrative boundary of the Park known as the “Blueline” • Does not include Lake Champlain • Does not include pre-19th century poetry of the Revolutionary and French and Indian Wars No bibliography is ever really complete, and we view this one as a work-in-progress.

    Baxter Mountain Baxter Mountain 1.5 miles long (3 mile round trip) Keene, Essex County Hiking Trail Baxter Mountain Trail to Beede Road The Baxter Mountain hiking trail starts on Route 9N in Keene in Essex County. Base map courtesy of Adirondack Atlas Adirondack of courtesy Base map Baxter Mountain is a 1.5 hike located within the Giant Mountain Wilderness Area near the Town of Keene. The mountain is a popular destination in the area, especially among families due to its short and gradual climb. The roadside parking area is located off of Route 9N, on the east side above the intersection with Route 73, not far from Hurricane Road. Despite its short climb, Baxter Mountain’s summit provides numerous views of the High Peaks area, especially of the Great Range. The hike follows blue trail markers from the trailhead and begins to climb steadily. After a few hundred yards, the trail cuts through a sunny clearing, traversing between telephone poles. The route is in good condition early on and is clear underfoot, apart from a few exposed tree roots. About 0.75 miles, the route begins to wind sharply up the west side of Baxter Mountain over a stretch of switchbacks. The ascent is constant from the start but never too steep because of the winding pattern. The trail continues to rise through a forest of young conifers, crossing over some wooden boards in a rocky patch. Soon the trail reaches a small junction where the trail from Beede Road comes in from the east.

    Trails Update 092311

    New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Current Conditions in the Adirondack High Peaks Region Compiled on: September 23, 2011 EASTERN HIGH PEAKS WILDERNESS The Eastern High Peaks Wilderness is open to public recreation including most trails in or accessed from the Adirondack Mountain Reserve. However the following of trails remain closed: Adirondack Mountain Reserve Trails: o The first (northernmost) two cross over trails between the East River Trail and the West River Trail. NOTE: The other three cross over trails and bridges are open and must be used to travel between the East River and West River Trails. o Warden's Camp to Sawteeth Trail o Carry Trail o Warden's Camp to Haystack Trail o Haystack Brook Trail The Deer Brook Trail from Route 73 to Rooster Comb The Southside Trail from the Garden Trailhead to John's Brook Outpost The Cold Brook Trail between Lake Colden and Indian Pass. The Elk Lake Trail between the Elk Lake Trailhead and Panther Gorge. Trails that are not closed are not necessarily in good condition, trails may have heavy erosion and cobble, bridges washed out, and flooding – though blowdown has been cleared from the majority of trails. Hikers must pay close attention as many trails may not look like they had before the storm. Many trails have been rerouted to avoid heavily damaged sections and eroded drainages can be mistaken for trails. The ability to navigate with a map and compass is important. Both newly developed and previous low water crossings may not be passable due to high water conditions.
