From Latham , NY
| # | Peak | Date Summitted | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Buck Mountain | Aug 09, 2006 | My favorite mountain in the Adirondacks to hike. Best view of Lake George from a mountain. On a clear day you can see the high peaks and green mountains of VT. I've hiked Buck from the southern and northern trails. I hiked it so many times that I have forgotten when I started. 2006 is the best I can remember. Definitely my favorite out of all 29 peaks. |
| #2 | Black Mountain | Sep 03, 2013 | A great view of the Northern end of Lake George. The big wind turbine was a surprise, the first time I hiked Black Mountain. |
| #3 | Wright Peak | Oct 09, 2015 | |
| #4 | Fivemile Mountain | Apr 23, 2016 | |
| #5 | Hurricane Mountain | Oct 17, 2017 | A very windy autumn day. A lot of clouds and mist which eventually cleared up making for a beautiful autumn day. |
| #6 | Cat Mountain | Apr 21, 2018 | |
| #7 | Jay Mountain | Aug 08, 2018 | This was a back up hike. My first choice, that day, was Wright, Algonquin and Iroquois but parking lot was overflowing. Turned out to be a great back up option with sweet view of the Great Range. |
| #8 | Indian Head | Sep 28, 2019 | Classic Adirondack gem. I can see why it's so popular. |
| #9 | First Brother | Jun 20, 2020 | Did this on my way to Big Slide and on the way back. Great views of the high peaks from First Brother. |

| #11 | Snow Mountain | Mar 19, 2021 | Great view of Keen Valley from this mountain |
| #12 | Rooster Comb | Mar 19, 2021 | I did this mountain with Snow Mountain. Its a fun loop with sweet view of Keen Valley. |
| #13 | Noonmark Mountain | Sep 10, 2021 | Saw a beautiful rainbow from Noonmark on this day. |
| #14 | Round Mountain | Sep 10, 2021 | I did this after hiking Noonmark. A great view of the high peaks. Feels like you're right so close you can reach and touch them from Noonmark and Round. |
| #15 | Bald Peak | Sep 25, 2021 | A fun rock scramble hike. Great view of Lake Champlain. Plus a trip over to Rocky Peak Ridge was crazy fun too. |
| #16 | Hopkins Mountain | Oct 08, 2021 | This would be second best Autumn hike. The first being Owls Head Look Out. I did Spread Eagle Mountain which is a short hike northwest of Hopkins. |
| #17 | Goodnow Mountain | Oct 15, 2021 | I remember this was a bright Autumn hike. The foliage was glowing that year. Beautiful view from the fire tower. You can see lot of bodies of water from this peak. Goodnow Pond and Rich Lake is a few you can see. |

| #21 | Moxham Mountain | Oct 14, 2022 | It was a great autumn hike. I remember seeing someone on a hammock near the summit. Started how misty that day and ended all clear and sunny. |
| #22 | Giant Nubble | Oct 21, 2022 | A fun pit stop on my way down from Giant Mountain. |
| #23 | Blue Mountain | Aug 11, 2023 | Steeper than I thought it would be but still a great hike. The Fire Tower was in good shape with beautiful view of Blue Mountain Lake. Stopped at the ADK Experience Museum after the hike. Great place, a lot of info on the ADKs. The museum definitely worth the visit. |
| #24 | Peaked Mountain | Oct 13, 2023 | A relaxing walk through the woods till about a half mile to the summit. The rock scramble was great and ended with a awesome view from the top. |
