After Whiteface, Just
45 More Adirondack Peaks-Dave Brown
Rating: ****
This article
really captured my attention and made me want to climb the Adirondack peaks. It
is a must read for any outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking and climbing.
This article
illustrates the 46- peak trek that some extreme outdoor enthusiasts embark on.
Those who take part in the epic adventure can call themselves part of the 46er
club. To become a member means you have climbed all the 46 peaks in the
mountain chain higher than 1200 metres. The journey begins at Whiteface Peak,
located 1.483 meters above sea level and takes as long as you do to finish
every peak. When you finish the 18.67 km hike, the bragging rights are all yours.
You will have become someone they call a 46er.
I enjoyed
this story because hiking up mountains and exploring the outdoors makes me
imagine how much fun a journey like that can be. It made me think how when you
are outside, the possibility for adventure is endless. It also got me
interested in learning more about what trails there are near me. I would like
to become a 46er before I die.
I recommend anyone
who wants to become a 46er, or anyone who likes hiking to read this book. I believe
they will get the same enjoyment from it that I did.
