Take a Hike with Cliff
Adirondack Hikes

Cliff has a fondness for hiking in the Adirondacks that has led to these galleries and then to a book: Witness the Forever Wild, A Guide to Favorite Hikes around the Adirondack High Peaks. Here are galleries from trips in recent years. I thank the hiking colleagues who joined me on these trips since some of the photos are theirs. I appreciate notes about broken links and miscaptioned pictures.
