The Moriah Challenge: Crowfoot Pond

Crowfoot Pond

On a weekend trip to the Adirondacks, I planned to finish off the Saranac 6 and the Moriah Challenge. My initial plan was to do the final two Moriah hikes on Friday.

I started with Crowfoot Pond. It's the longest hike in the Challenge, although it's almost entirely flat, at 2.5 miles each way. The above photo shows what most of the trail looks like.

It dead-ends at Crowfoot Pond, seen below. (A private road continues on.) The pond itself is nice, but the trail doesn't have a great angle on it. Still, it was pretty.

Afterwards, I tried to drive over to Big Hollow/Coot Hill, which is the final hike in the challenge, but was stymied, which you'll get a report on later.
