A local pilot provided us with a great photo of completely frozen Lake Champlain, something that has happened for the first time since 2019

DID YOU FEEL IT? 🫨

An earthquake rattled Keeseville, New York just before 8 PM Sunday evening... only a 2.0, but shaking was reported on both sides of Lake Champlain.

GOOD CAIRNS SAVE LIVES:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AfcdvQwMk/?mibextid=wwXIfr

ADK has learned that nearly every cairn on the summit of Wright Peak has been destroyed. Cairns are large rock structures that help hikers navigate above treeline in inclement weather. They are designated by the land manager as a navigational tool.

The cairns, some of which had been standing for nearly two decades, are now being rebuilt by ADK summit stewards. This will be a multiweek project, limiting our capacity to complete other planned projects on the summits.

Please be advised that it will now be more difficult to navigate to the summit of Wright. Follow the yellow-painted blazes to stay on the trail.

Stick to bare rock surfaces above treeline. Shoulder season is when the most damage to alpine vegetation occurs, and these plants are already stressed due to drought-like conditions.

If you are hiking Wright, please leave everything as you see it. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to rebuild these cairns, and our summit stewards need the rocks that are there to stay in the same place.
