Algonquin Peak as seen from Iroquis Peak
A busy day at work set me up for a late start to my trip to Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks. The forecast called for below zero temperatures at 2000 feet Saturday night, so I packed some cold weather clothing just in case. After a quick trip to Walmart for the typical backpacking staples of Ramen noodles and a block of cheese, I hit the road under sunny skies. An hour later, the Adirondacks came into view, shrouded in some very grey fluffy clouds. Undeterred, I continued on through the town of Keene and arrived at the Adirondack Loj around quarter to six as a light rain began to fall.
