This was a pretty difficult hike, and can be an all day event if you are not a fast hiker. There are a lot of different types of terrain, and proper gear is a must. If you are new to hiking, please consider hiring a guide or completing some easier hikes prior to attempting Mount Colden. For more information about hiring a guide to complete this hike, visit roulette-travel.com/guidedhiking!
As always, if you are hiking in the Adirondacks, please obey the principles of Leave No Trace. Currently, the area is dealing with overcrowding, litter and eroding trails - so please take the utmost care if and when you visit.

Great video! I just did this hike 1 month ago. I also thought this was a really tough hike but the views made it worth it! The rock scrambles and ladders along Avalanche Lake begin to wear on you before you even start climbing the 1950'. I ran into a 46er on the way back to the Loj who recommended to take an Advil 3 times on the hike (before you start, at the summit, and when you are done). Also, I missed the sign but didn't get too far away because I was using AllTrails. If I didn't have AllTrails, I would have probably would have gone to the end of Lake Colden.

This is sick! Do you think dogs can complete avalanche pass? My dog is very athletic and has climbed other difficult and scrambly peaks like Iroquois and Big Slide. Iām just not sure how much you need to be on your hands and knees, ya know. Thanks
