Pine Hill
Howie and I headed north for today's hike. We climbed Pine Hill in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness (Adirondacks). Parked at the trailhead on Route 74 and started out on the Short Swing Trail (blue markers). After almost 3 miles, we left the trail and headed uphill. It was a short 0.5 mile bushwack to reach the top of Pine Hill. There were many open and rocky patches which provided views in different directions. We took a short lunch break and then headed down - ending up at Horseshoe pond. Navigated around the pond and back to the blue trail which we took back to the car. Saw nobody else in the woods today. Everyone must have been at the mall. It was a warm day, but very cloudy and gray.

Yeah, it was over 60 degrees down here. We went for a 2-mile walk. It was a nice change of pace from going to the gym.
