We have reached maximum occupancy

I did a hike in Adirondack high peaks today with Mengis from work. We did a loop over Big Slide from the Garden parking lot. Went over the Brothers up to Big Slide and then down Slide brook trail and back out the Johns brook trail. It was a cool, breezy and cloudy day with some breaks of sun. At the summit there were a ton of people. I counted 30 (!!!) ... including a large group of college kids. The foliage seemed to be near peak color. There was even a little bit of snow at the top.

Summit Elevation: Big Slide 4240 ft
Round-trip Distance: 9.5 mi
Elevation Change: 2800 ft
