Marked by blue disks and maintained by the NYSDEC, this extensive footpath traverses more than eighteen kilometers through the High Peaks region, offering one of the longer single-trail experiences in the Adirondack backcountry. The route is reported to present varied terrain and often demanding ascents that reward those prepared for a sustained wilderness journey. Its considerable length makes it best suited to experienced hikers seeking a full day's immersion in the mountains, though the trail's character and difficulty are said to shift considerably along its course.
