Double your (hiking) pleasure

Howie and I climbed two more peaks with fire towers on Sunday.

Goodnow Mountain

Round-trip Distance: 3.8 mi
Elevation Change: 1040 ft

Goodnow mountain is located in the central Adirondacks near Newcomb. The fire tower on top is open and there are great views of the high peaks to the north.
