Cascade and Porter

It looked to be a nice day (no rain!). So, I decided to take the day off and head north with Howie for a hike. We climbed Cascade and Porter mountains from Route 73. They are two of the easier Adirondack high peaks to climb. We had lots of company on this hike, as there were many other hikers on the trail ... including a handful of dogs. The trail was a bit wet and muddy, but not the worse I have seen. The bugs came out in the afternoon ... they must have been sleeping in.

Summit Elevation: Cascade 4098 ft, Porter 4059 ft
Round-trip Distance: 6.2 mi
Elevation Change: 2360 ft

Such a big difference without rain.
