Avalanche Lake Hike | Adirondacks

Published 2022-06-20
Avalanche Lake is beautiful and remote. It's well worth the trip for those who are prepared for the miles. Avalanche Pass is usually approached from the Adirondack Loj.

    Love that swainsons thrush in the beginning! đź‘Ś
  • Loved the simplicity in this video! I would love more videos like this. I loved the message that you don’t need to always head out to bag a peak. Recently drove from Tupper Lake down 30/28 through Old Forge and into Utica. I passed so many trailheads and lakes, canoe routes, lean-tos, firetowers… I hope I can visit them all, the park is so incredible from end to end. You’re a great steward of this park so hope you’re not leaving too long. You provide a great message of respecting the beautiful ADK wilderness.

    Awesome. You should have seen Marcy Dam in the early 90’s, entirely different now. Great video. Again. #5440.
  • @tomob8226
    Omg I did this so long ago. The whole area. Great times!
  • @sonofabear
    I remember backpacking in the flowed lands for 4 days! it was incredible
  • Climbed Algonquin sometime in the late 70s and returned back through Avalanche Lake via the cliff walk. It was much more precarious back then and not well maintained. It was an adventure that I will never forget.
  • @RDJim
    You're making a name for yourself with videos like these. Easy on the eyes and ears. Brilliant.
  • What a great idea for backpacking that minimalist daypack! Boom.
  • @barkeater123
    This is a very nice hike. Great way to put the focus on the surroundings and not just summiting and exiting. Lake is a great place to sit and have lunch.
  • @SiriusHikes
    Foreshadowing gulp... Wishing you all the best on your journeys!
  • @Snitchols
    Great video. Sounded like a bullfrog to me.
  • @martyhogan
    Perfectly paced and edited clips. Your short segments on the Flora made me experience exactly what I have in the past and hope to again. Every single scene could be framed. Thanks for the experience. I’ll take my 25% next time I’m in Lake Placid this summer. On your photos
  • @seankillip6903
    Probably one of my top 5 favorite videos! Shows that it's not just the high peaks that make up the beauty of the ADK. Thanks for sharing this!
  • @joanlajara3939
    Thanks so much for a long awaited video! Been waiting for them! You have such a great way of showing us nature and when we can’t be there you are! This place we call the Adks is so special, you get me out there! Hope you won’t be gone long?! This is in your blood like many of us! Love your photos, want to purchase more! Please don’t be gone long! Hi to your Dad! Happy Father’s Day to him, he did a great job in raising a son like you! Thx!
  • Thanks for putting this video together. I hiked Mt. Colden via Avalanche Lake with my daughter and her boyfriend (1st time for them, 2nd for me) on 5-31. One of my favorite loops in the ADKs. Hope all is well.
  • @Tomangel61
    Been there many times, absolutely beautiful.
  • @skym.3362
    Hey! My friend and I were hiking the other day and I think we saw you and your dad! If so, I wish we called out to say hi. We watch all of your videos! :)
  • Nice video, Hiking that route was one of my best hikes. Walking through Avalanche pass was just Amazing. The we proceed to Climb the Dyke, I will def do that again. Buy yes it is very dangerous and one wrong slip and it can cost you your life.
