Boyea Road.
Half a mile of easy walking, and that's the point. Boyea Road is the trail you take when you've got 20 minutes and need to move, or when the kids are restless and a full summit day isn't in the cards. It won't give you views or solitude, but it will get you out the door and into the woods without the usual Adirondack commitment.
