Tour Great Camp Santanoni with Steven Engelhart

[@UncleDan58]

I discovered Santanoni this past summer for the first time and absolutely fell in love with this marvel of the Adirondacks. Since then, I’ve camped at one of the campsites three times and visited the place at least once every month. Now waiting on the December snows so I can ski in and do some winter camping throughout the season. Yeah, I sorta think the place is pretty cool.

I actually spent time there when I was a kid.. The Melvins owned it. My Grandparents helped open it up when Art and Helen where there. It was amazing..I actually have one of the original candle sticks..It has a memorable spot in my heart.

We just were there last Friday did the 10 mile round trip hike!!! Often wonder how they brought all materials in mid 1800s!!!

Amazing place! My question regarding the Adirondacks is "How did those people, back then, avoid the Black flies?"

Easy. Stay away during May and June.
