FRENCH MOUNTAIN hike
July 22, 2024 - The trailhead is now gated! July 5, 2024 - FRENCH MOUNTAIN hike. LGLC Hike-a-Thon at the McPhillips Preserve. The trail goes along old logging roads, sometimes overgrown. Reaching 1360' el, we took a L & dropped down to the rocky lookout where there is a view to the southern end of the lake & LG village. Also in view are West, Darling, Potash, Hadley, Black Spruce, & Prospect Mountains. Temp 75-80F, mostly cloudy, humid. Fun tho. No issues with bad bugs. A few ripe blueberries at the lookout, black raspberries at the trailhead. Wild turkeys near the parking area. 2.4 miles, 928' el gain, 2.8 hours (1.6 hours moving time). Still no sign of any work being done about marking trails. Lower slopes are in the town of Lake George, higher elevations in Queensbury. Note from June/July 2024: the driveway for the below FRENCH MTN hike is chained off with a no trespassing sign: Nov 15, 2023 - FRENCH MOUNTAIN RANGE hike, from Bloody Pond Rd. I call it a range ...
