Thank you! I really liked this hike, apart from the high elevation gain, the views were great!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate all your kind words! I was hoping to go skiing somewhere this weekend, maybe I'll check out Belleyre, I can't wait for this upcoming season and for more hiking!

@@slimpickins3425 yeah I’m excited for the ski season! And that was in New Hampshire, in the white mountains, they are a lot like the Adirondacks, really pretty!!

@@Self_Proppelled thank you for letting me know, I’ll keep this is in mind when I hike other mountains in the whites! I was happy too with the trail maintenance, much better than other places I’ve hiked.

@@slimpickins3425 I did like the steps, I thought they were helpful, I do love fall, the leaves were so colorful! Thank you for watching!

@@slimpickins3425 thank you so much! I agree, I’m glad I could enjoy the rest of the day on Hopkins, I think it’s such a better summit! Yeah I think all the leaves are gone in the Adirondacks too, I’m getting excited for snow, thank you so much for watching!!

@@prbatin1 yeah that was a really nice day, surprisingly it was like that on a Sunday but it was late in the season, so that’s probably why. Over the past few years March has been the best month to ski, so if this year is like last year, then March should be a good time to go. Usually March and February are the best months in the northeast to ski. I’m hoping for lots of snow this year!

@@slimpickins3425 thank you so much! Yes it is kind of frustrating to see a car at the top when you’ve just hiked for a couple hours! But I had a good time, and enjoyed the summit! I’m glad fall is here too, I’m excited for the colder weather and of course skiing! I hope it’s a good year for it! Thank you so much for all your support and kind words, it means a lot, have a great autumn!

@@Tomangel61 thank you!

It was a weird season this year, I’m hoping for a better one next year, thank you!

Me too, I’m always looking forward to the next season!

Yeah no problem! Before I hiked this trail, I did some research on where to park, because you do drive to Whiteface ski resort, but then you will follow signs to Bear Den and the Kids Center (basically all the way to the right). The hike was about 4 miles long round trip, give or take and it took about 2 and a half hours, maybe three with breaks. I found it really hard to follow at times, but I did download the AllTrails map and followed that when I got lost and I could find the trail again. It’s super pretty and there’s great views of whiteface ski mountain, I highly recommend it!! I hope this helps!

Thank you! I hope you had a great holiday as well!!

Thank you! I was going to say I was working on another Belleayre video!

Thank you so much! This is from December when we got that decent snowstorm, I don’t know how many more we’ll get this season, so I’m glad I got to go when I could! Thank you so much for watching!!

I’m so happy to hear that! I agree, I feel like belleayre is a hidden gem in New York, Gore is great too! I highly recommend Gore, it’s a good size and there’s a mix of everything there, I really recommend going to Burnt Ridge and checking out the glades there if they’re open!

Thanks! What would you are some of the easier glades (when they're open)?@@brooke_themountainsarecalling

@@Elephantsworld33 I would recommend the Belleayre Glades and the Big T Glades, especially the Belleayre glades! Even though they’re rated as a diamond, they’re very doable, at any other mountain, they would be rated as a blue square, I hope this helps!

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling great thanks!

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll try to change it!

Wow yeah there’s a lot of ways to get the different peaks together, but good for you! 21 hours that’s a lot but a great accomplishment!

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling ohhhh yeah those 4 were my 8th-11th High Peak out of the 15 that I've done so far I started at 6am got Redfield at Noon Gray Peak at 3:30pm Skylight at 4:20pm Haystack at 6pm then made it to the John Brooks Lodge at 3am

@@volcanichurricanemowgli wow! What a day, yeah getting to Redfield takes forever! I love Skylight though, but that’s really impressive! I think the longest hike I’ve done is 15 hours

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling I’m use to doing 15 hour walks I walked from my hometown to every township and village in my home county and a neighboring county and even when I moved to a village over 14 miles from my hometown I was still at it even walking to places in all 4 counties that neighbor the 2 counties that I walked to all the townships and villages the even Oswego County’s Redfield and that’s what ignited the fire in me to go after the other Redfield if I didn’t run into any hikers while on my way to the mountain I probably would’ve been on top of Mount Redfield probably within a few hours of starting the hike because I was blood thirsty hellbent obsessed with conquering that mountain even to the point where I said to myself in the mirror “you either come home with Mount Redfield under your belt or don’t come home at all” and I got 3 more mountains in the same hike Skylight and Haystack were what I needed to have all of the 5 highest peaks defeated Gray Peak was just a bonus in my plans Redfield was the whole reason why the 21 hour hike happened and because of my long history of doing 20,30,40 even 50+ mile walks and years of experience hiking woods and mountains I made Mount Redfield look like an easy hike

The only breaks that I ever took during the hike was on top of each mountain I’m use to doing long hikes and very long walks outside of mountain I’ve done as much as 52.6 miles on foot in 17 hours the most I’ve ever done in a single day is 51 miles on foot the most I’ve done in a 3 day period is 108.3 miles on foot

Thank you so much! Yes the videos are more “rugged” just like the Adirondacks which I think is more fitting lol. Yes this is a difficult hike but I agree the views are amazing!

Thank you!

No problem and yes I recommend Minnewaska state park as it’s a lot closer than the Adirondacks, but the Catskills are great too! Belleyre is a great mountain!

Thank you! I was wondering when I hiked it if I made it to the summit or not because I thought there was a sign too, but good to know I made it!

Oh wow, I didn’t realize it was under water, we have been having a lot of rain recently, so it’s probably because of that. But I hiked these back in late April/early May, so that’s why there’s still snow, but thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much Erin😊hope all is well!!

Thank you so much, I really do hope the directions help! And have fun!

Yeah! Keep working towards it, you’ll be able to ski it in no time!

Thank you again always, for watching! I’m trying to get the last couple times in before spring and summer! How was Belleyre, I heard they got a lot of snow from the storm in early March, but thank you again, so much!

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling Hi Brooke! I appolgise, I didnt see your reply, maybe i dont have notices turned on, ill check. Anyway it was good when i was up there , the snow was already less, and looking at Belleyre cam today I see the woods are bare now. After this coming weeks rain I think its gonna be coming to a end soon. I dont mind, I want to get out and and enjoy the spring! Im looking forward to getting up there a lot this summer, as I just bought some land up there, and lots to do to make it mine, For now I have my VW Camper to park on it and my buddy is a 5 nun walk up the road, so i stay at his Tiny House a lot. Thanks for yur reply as always, Charlie..

@@slimpickins3425 no worries! Sadly, I think the season is coming to an end as well, but I agree, I’m excited for the warm weather and longer days! And that’s awesome, that will be so nice to have a house in Vermont, enjoy!

Thank you so much! I really love the Adirondacks, it’s always nice to share them!!

That’s awesome, well apart from the rain, but yeah I feel Gore has a great mix of everything, so it’s great for the family, hopefully you get back soon!!

Thank you so much! Yes, I hope this helped, I usually use my AllTrails downloaded map, and it helps. Ampersand is pretty straight forward except for a couple parts, but I don’t think there should be too much snow because of the rain and warm temperatures, we’ve had, but I hope you have a great time and views!!

Thank you so much! Yeah I really like Gore, I think it’s got a good mix of everything and they usually keep their snow in pretty good condition, and thank you, I will take you up on that offer!

That’s awesome! Yes I’m hoping they can make some snow with the colder weather and hopefully more snow in the future!

I’m debating driving up this weekend, how is it holding up with all that heat?

Thank you so much! Yes that weekend was a great time, this weather we’ve had the last couple weeks has not been great for skiing, but I feel this is typical New England weather, usually are best snowstorms are in February and March, so I’m getting ready for more snow!!

Thank you so much! Yes, I was so happy to get the snow from a couple weeks ago, but this warm weather has really put a damper on the skiing. But it’s typical northeast weather, I’m hopeful for more snow! Thank you so much for watching and happy new year to you as well!!

I use my GoPro 7 and attach it to the mount for my helmet, hope this helps!

They are!! This video was of last year, so I’m not sure if Gore has opened them yet this year, but when they do, I highly recommend checking them out!

Not too long, I would say about 5 hours, most of the hike is flat until about the last mile or so, then the elevation increases until you reach the summit. But it’s a beautiful hike, enjoy!!

Thanks, it’s one of my favorites!

Thank you so much as always! I really love that hike, it’s pretty doable with such an amazing view! And that’s great to hear! Belleyre is my favorite mountain in the Catskills, so I’m super excited for skiing!! Happy Holidays to you as well!!

Yes! Whiteface has some great runs, especially off little Whiteface, and when there's snow, the runs off the top are really fun!

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling My best day there was two years ago I hand picked the perfect spring day 45 degrees no wind not a cloud in the sky great conditions almost everything was still open and what a fantastic day that was!

@@keithcallahan3339 that sounds awesome, I love spring skiing, and the views at whiteface are amazing!

I’m glad to hear, thank you! Yes! Wright is now one of my new favorites and I’m glad I finally got to see the view, well worth the wait! How were the Catskills? There’s still so much I need to hike there!

@@brooke_themountainsarecalling There awesome, the leaves are all down in Halcott, but it looked amazing on the drive up from LI! I just bought some land up there, so trying to get up there as much as possible . I hope to do some local hikes in the spring

@@slimpickins3425 that’s awesome! The leaves were so colorful this past autumn, yes I’m hoping to get some more hiking in too!
