Pine and Forks mountains

Did a hike in the Adirondacks today with Howie. We climbed Pine and Forks mountains in the Hudson River gorge area. Parked near the bridge over the Boreas river on Northwoods Club road. Started out following the old Tahawus railroad. Then headed into woods and up to the summit of Pine mountain. Explored the ridge along the top which had some nice views down to Hudson river and the surrounding mountains. Continued down to the col and then up the backside of Forks mountain. Checked out some cliffy areas along the south face with views and then headed back down to the railroad. Followed that back to the road. Nice warm sunny day for our adventure.

Summit Elevation: Pine 2103 ft, Forks 1990 ft
Round-trip Distance: 6.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1630 ft
