Lyon

Sunday night was not as cold as the previous night. Woke up Monday morning, packed up and then headed over to Lyon mountain for the last hike of the weekend. This was the hardest hike in terms of effort. I pushed myself a bit and was able to make the summit in 1:05. Lyon mountain is in the very northern part of the Adirondacks and has distant views of Montreal to the north, Lake Champlain to the east, and the high peaks to the south. After the hike, I headed back to Albany tired, but satisfied.

Summit Elevation: Lyon 3830 ft
Round-trip Distance: 5.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1790 ft

You hiked 5 miles in just over an hour?

Who's the dude in the yellow jacket?

2.5 miles in just over an hour ... steady walking pace with a couple of short breaks to catch my breath

it's a dudette ... someone from the hiking club

Ok, that makes more sense but still impressive.

Ah...she either has short hair or it's pulled back behind her hat.
