ADK Hikes

Althought the ADK hikes are not technically a part of the Outdoor Club, some of the Outdoor Club

members do participate.  Each fall a group from the Queensbury Middle School heads to the Adirondack

High Peaks.  This group consists of students, faculty and administration.  It has been over twenty years

since the first group established this tradition.  Over this period, Algonqin, Giant, Phelps, Wright,

Cascade, Porter and many other peaks have been climbed. 

Fall 2004  (October 8th)  -- Power point from base to the summit of Algonquin.

Three groups participated.  One group ascended Phelps, one Wright and the third Algonqin.  As far as

weather was concerned, it was an incredible day.  Some Of the highly motivated hikers such as

Mr. Silvernell and Mr. Orr climbed two peaks (Wright and Algonquin)
