Be Prepared
In the Adirondacks, properly preparing for winter conditions is a crucial aspect of Leave No Trace, keeping both yourself and natural resources safe from unnecessary rescues and injuries. Before any outing, thoroughly research your chosen route, check conditions from trusted sources, and share a detailed itinerary with a family member or friend. Always pack essential gear, including microspikes and snowshoes, extra non-cotton layers, and emergency supplies, ensuring you dress appropriately and turn back if conditions become too taxing.
