July 4th weekend was relatively quiet for us so we took the opportunity to explore the Jackson Hill trails again.
We followed the intermediate cross-country ski trail to Sunfield hoping to reach the Adirondack Field which supposedly has the "most impressive view of all, sweeping north and west over the vast wilderness of the Adirondacks".
The trek was easy enough but we ended up in this wildflower field bordering some private property. With wire fencing around, we could not find a way to continue onward. Did we miss the turnoff? Doubling back, there was really no other way to go.
Back where we started, we then followed the Hillside Trail to the Telemark Trail. The toboggan before the descent was not too reassuring. At least, we weren't skiing downhill.
True to its black trail billing, the trail went uphill and downhill several times...a real workout.
It turned out to be quite an enjoyable hike although we did not get to see any really spectacular landscape. Maybe next time.
