  • 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.

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.

  • Arthur Savage: an Adirondack Conservation Champion by Dave Gibson
    Arthur Savage: An Adirondack Conservation Champion By Dave Gibson Jan 17, 2013 Arthur Savage, far right, with (l-r), Wayne Byrne, Paul Schaefer, Paul Jamieson, c. 1974. Courtesy of Tim Barnett Arthur V. Savage of Elizabethtown, Keene, and points south died on December 26 and belongs in my pantheon of Adirondack conservation champions. Judging from the flow of email following his death, that also holds true for many others. He was a man of varied interests, commitments, and for all seasons. I am hoping this short post will stimulate others who knew Arthur better than I to share their thoughts. Arthur’s obituary was in many regional papers as well as The New York Times. His importance as an early leader in environmental law circles can’t be overstated. I knew Arthur principally for his work on the boards of the not for profit Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks (AFPA) and NYS Adirondack Park Agency. When Arthur joined these boards, the former through the recruitment of AFPA’s long-time chairman Arthur Crocker in the 1960s, and the latter thanks to his nomination to the APA by Governor Hugh Carey in 1979, he gave a complete effort.In the late 1970s, Arthur Savage was poised to succeed Arthur Crocker as president of the Association when his nomination for APA came through, and he stepped aside sensing a potential conflict of interest. Yet, in his deliberations at the APA over the ensuing 18 years he maintained the same sense of ethical obligation to the Park’s environment and beauty that he would demonstrate with the nonprofit groups he helped.

I recently celebrated a birthday and a friend asked me what words of wisdom I had to offer. My first thought: Do it Tuesday September 11 while you can! It was rather fitting that this discussion took Hurricane Mt North Trail place on top of a mountain. And from that, my second thought was: Don't be afraid to try something new. This past Tuesday, Sept. 18, (rain date Sat. winter I tried my first cross country ski trip into Camp Santanoni, Oct. 6) and recently, after the purchase of a "lightly" used bike, did my Twin Mountain first bike trip on the Lake George Bike Trail. And the reason I was able to successfully complete and enjoy them both is because Monday, September 24 (rain my Foothills leaders helped and encouraged me all the way. (I date- Tues, September 25) do have to admit my calves were barking at me for 2-3 days Ticeteneyck Mountain after!) So, if you've been reading the trip reports and wishing you could do one but don't have the experience, try it!

  • DEC, Private Club Piloting High Peaks Hiker Reservation System
    DEC, Private Club Piloting High Peaks Hiker Reservation System By John Warren New York Almanack March 30, 2021 Crowded conditions along Route 73. Photo © Ken Rimany The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Ausable Club have announced a pilot reservation system to access the Club’s private lands, the Adirondack Mountain Reserve (AMR). Since 1978 the State has held a conservation easement on Club/Reserve lands which allows limited access to some of the more popular places in the Adirondack Park’s High Peaks Wilderness Area. A press release from DEC cited “reliable access” and public safety along Route 73 among the reasons for the change. The pilot program is slated to run for three years according to DEC. AMR trailheads along Route 73 in Keene provide the closest access to the valley formed by the East Branch Ausable River, and Upper and Lower Ausable Lakes in the heart of the coveted High Peaks Wilderness. The trailheads serve one of the most photographed places in the Adirondack backcountry, Indian Head, along with Rainbow Falls, Noonmark and Round mountains, and about 10 popular High Peaks. Most of the mountains themselves, and their summits, are on “forever wild” constitutionally protected Adirondack Forest Preserve Lands, but are also accessible from the shorter AMR trails. All State owned Adirondack Forest Preserve Lands will remain accessible at all times, even without a reservation, via routes that do not cross private Ausable Club / Adirondack Mountain Reserve lands. Those most affected by the change will be 46ers and others headed to Colvin, Nippletop, and Dial, which are not otherwise accessible by public trails except by way of the Elk Lake – Marcy Trail.
