State Brook

Did a hike with Howie today  in the Southern Adirondacks. We climbed State Brook mountain. There are no trails going up, so this was a bushwhack hike. Parked along Route 10 and started out. Open woods for the most part. Found a "happy birthday" Mylar balloon along the way. Some stubborn snow in a few spots on the northern side of the mountain. Went to the cliffs NNW of the summit. Heard voices down below. There were some rock climbers. Then I headed up and over the summit and down a bit to another cliff/viewpoint. Stopped for a lunch break and then headed back down to the snow mobile trail. Soon reached the car again. Very warm out on this sunny Spring day.
