I apologize in advance for being a noob and so ignorant. No offense meant at all here. Anyhow, I'm 47 and an ADK member and thus far have climbed Cascade and Porter (quite easily) and the other day did Wright, Algonquin, Boundary, and Iroquois (much tougher for me and about my limit for one day I'd say). Loved them all and am looking to bag my next pair or group of High Peaks, so I'm looking for day hike recommendations. Will likely be flying solo and am staying away from Sat/Sunday hikes to avoid the crowds.
Anyhow, I'd like to knock off at least two of the 46 peaks in a day trip if possible without absolutely killing myself. I'd say the Wright, Algonquin, Iroquois hike is about the limit of what I'd like to attempt in a day, so I'm looking for recs that are similar or easier in terms of mileage/elevation gain. Would greatly appreciate any details in terms of routes/trails, markers I should look for, direction of travel, and so on.
I'm such a noob, I haven't even been to the Garden yet, but hey, one's gotta start somewhere. There are so many super knowledgeable people here, I'm hoping a few will be kind enough to help a real-life schoolteacher (that's me!) with some helpful recs and info. Greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance to those that help!
