Slip sliding away...

Howie and I did a nice hike in the Adirondack high peaks today. We climb East Dix (Grace peak) via the Great Slide. Parked near bridge over the North Fork of the Bouqet River on Route 73 and started out on the unmarked path. It was confusing at times and I made a couple wrong turns. Was able to correct our route and eventually made it to the start of the slide. The slide started out at a reasonable grade and got steeper toward the top. We skipped the last bit of climbing (which would have been tricky for the dog) and opted for path on the side. Reached the summit and had a quick bite. Returned the way we came for an eight hour trek in the woods.

Summit Elevation: East Dix (Grace) 4012 ft
Round-trip Distance: 12.0 mi
