The Adirondack Park is an immense wilderness encompassing more than 9,375 square miles. Within its boundaries are rugged mountains, countless pristine lakes and ponds, seemingly endless forests, and thousands of miles of wild rivers, providing an infinite number of outdoor adventures. The revised edition of Five-Star Trails: Adirondacks, by Tim Starmer, features six new popular trails and provides a detailed guide to some of the most stunning views found across the Adirondacks. Included are rugged and steep ascents up Snowy Mountain in the Central Adirondacks, which many consider the 47th high peak, and isolated Debar Mountain in the northern Adirondack region. Distance hikers will love the long trek into the High Peak Wilderness to see the amazing Hanging Spear Falls along the Opalescent River.
Also new to this edition is the less difficult but equally scenic vistas of the Eastern Adirondacks and Lake George described along the Black Mountain trail. And delve back into the remote depths of the High Peaks region to explore some of the most unique trails with descriptions of Wright Peak, Avalanche Pass, and the second highest mountain in New York, Algonquin Mountain.
Each hike features an individual trail map, elevation profile, and at-a-glance information.

Kathleen Dodge first shouldered a backpack at the tender age of 10, when her dad forced her to walk around the neighborhood with a pack full of encyclopedias to prepare for an overnight outing in Yosemite. From the first heavily-laden step, a love affair was born. A thirst for backcountry adventure has led Kathleen to decades of starry nights in her native California's Sierra Nevada mountains.
When not hitting the trail, Kathleen can be found leading hiking and biking trips around the globe, travel writing, or holed up in an Oakland café with a great book. She has written for Fodor's, Lonely Planet, and Moon, among other publications.
Jordan Summers, a native of North Carolina, grew up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Moving to La Jolla, California, as a teen in the 1960s opened up new terrain to hike in and became the stage for his introduction to the Sierra Club. Settling into a hi-tech career in southern California, Jordan sought the mountains for hikes of all kinds at every opportunity: day hikes, ultralight, or weeklong. As friends asked Jordan to arrange and guide them on trips, it seemed like an appropriate time to take on some new skills. A monthlong expedition in Wyoming's Wind River Range with the National Outdoor Leadership School not only enhanced those skills but also taught Jordan how to safely share the outdoors experience using Leave No Trace practices. By 1991, Summers Trails was leading clients on treks into wilderness areas of Oregon and California using a string of trail-friendly llamas to transport gear. Leading treks, Jordan enjoyed introducing novices to the outdoors in a way that made it accessible. He served as a local Chapter President of the Sierra Club, returning the favor of its earlier outdoors introduction. Sacramento has been Jordan's gateway to the Sierra and coast ranges for 10 years.
