Let’s celebrate Gary’s birthday together! Gary Keir – the man, the myth, the legend… If you have been lucky enough to have Gary as your guide you will remember him for his inexhaustible knowledge of birds and trees (beech or birch?), his prep emails (he will tell you exactly what fancy coffee drink you should and should not buy right before getting in the van), and his kindness. He makes everyone – from beginners to experienced hikers – feel comfortable on the trail, and he is always there to give you a spot, a helping hand, or an extra layer. He is also the person behind our carbon emission offset program. We are so lucky to have Gary on the team, and we are excited to celebrate his birthday with a hike!
For this hike, we doing a thru-hike from Sam’s Point to Lake Minnewaska. This is the quintessential Gary hike! Gary is all about the views, and this hike got PLENTY of views! We have plenty of daylight and not too much elevation gain. It’s the perfect day on the trail to celebrate everyone’s favorite guide!

In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. And this is our first overnight trip! That’s right – we’ll drive up on Saturday, hike, spend a night in a hotel, then hike Sunday, and head back home. On Day 1, we’ll start in Massachusetts and summit Mt. Everett. Then, it’s on to Connecticut where we’ll make our way past multiple waterfalls – beautiful, spring hike in the forest. Day 2 will be a recovery day, with shorter mileage and less elevation. We will finish up our weekend with a section Connecticut section starting at the gorgeous Great Falls.
Because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back. It’s only the Appalachian Trail, and it’s new places all day long. Come explore the AT with us!

And we are starting where it all started – at Pecoy Notch in the Catskills, climbing Twin Mountain, a Catskill 3500 peak.

Want a Memorial Day weekend to remember? Come on a mountain adventure to the Adirondacks with us! And climb not one but two 46ers! 46ers are 46 high peaks of the Adirondacks, each over 4,000 feet tall. We’ll ring in the unofficial start of summer with mountain climbing, games, and great company!
Get away from Memorial Day City crowds and join us on this beautiful adventure! Our journey will take us on a gorgeous hike of Algonquin Peak and, conditions permitting, an ascent of the nearby Iroquois, a trailless peak. For the first half of the day, it’s a steady climb, and it will feel anywhere between INTERMEDIATE and CHALLENGING, depending on your experience and conditions. But we plan to keep the pace very moderate, to allow for an enjoyable day. If you can do a Catskill 3500 mountain, you can do these peaks! The summits of these peaks are above treeline, so the views at the top are absolutely fantastic! On a clear day, we will be able to see countless mountains in the High Peaks region.
When not hiking, we’ll spend our nights at the Adirondack Loj, relaxing and enjoying board games and great conversation.
Experience: Prior high peak (Catskill 3500’s or Adirondack 46ers) hiking experience strongly encouraged. Please contact us with any questions at info@adventureuntamed.com. We can help you put together a training plan! This trip is rated INTERMEDIATE due to easier pace, but it may feel more challenging depending on conditions and experience. This trip has CHALLENGING terrain and (sometimes) conditions.
Accommodations: Shared (with our group) loft room at ADK Loj. Limited private rooms available for an extra $150 per night. Please email us at info@adventureuntamed.com with questions and requests.
Food: We will have lunch on the road the first day and the last day. Other than that, all meals are included.
Day 1 (May 25th)
We’ll depart at 7:00 am, stopping for lunch on the road. After arriving at the Loj we’ll go for a short warm-up hike. After a moderate scramble to the top, gorgeous views of the Adirondacks will open up right in front of us. That evening we’ll enjoy a tasty dinner and and get ready for our climb.
Day 2 (May 26th)
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll start the summit attempt of Algonquin and Iroquois. We’ll take our time on the trail and make consistent, steady progress, admiring the ridge and summit views. That night, we’ll relax in front of the fire after a delicious dinner.
Day 3 (May 27th)
After a good night’s rest, we’ll pack and relax for the leisurely drive back to New York City, stopping for lunch along the way. For those interested, we’ll do a short morning hike to ring in the new year!

Up for a challenge this summer? The Pemi Loop is the stuff of hiking legends. “The name alone brings a wistful smile to the faces of many New England hikers. Eight wide-open summits on the New Hampshire 48 list of 4,000+ footers—each offering spectacular views of the Pemigewasset Wilderness.”
It is as beautiful as it is challenging. We’ll go through forest that has been compared to scenes from Lord of the Rings. We’ll climb open ridges that open up to 360-degree views. And we’ll journey into the heart of the White Mountains. The weather is unpredictable. The slopes are steep and challenging. And it’s all completely worth it!
This hike was named the second hardest day hike in America. Fortunately, we are taking two days to do the route. This will allow us to take more time to enjoy the route, while still going at a strong pace and challenging ourselves.
We’ll go light! While we are camping before and after, for the two days of the hike, we’ll don our day packs and bring just what we need for day hiking plus a sleeping bag or sleeping bag liner for our stay at the Galehead Hut.
Join us on this challenging, beautiful adventure!
Experience: This trip is for experienced hikers. Please contact us at info@adventureuntamed.com for more information.
Accommodations: Tents at a campground nights 1 and 3; bunk rooms at the Galehead Hut night 2.
Day 1 (June 28)
We’ll depart at 7:00 am, stopping for lunch on the road. After arriving at camp the we’ll set up tents and go for a short warm-up hike. That evening, your guides will cook you dinner, do a gear check, and we’ll all get a good night’s sleep before starting the Pemi Loop the following morning.
Day 2 (June 29)
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll start the Pemi Loop! There will be ups, downs, and scrambles as we skirt the edge of the rugged Pemigewasset Wilderness. We’ll spend the night at the Galehead Mountain Hut, right in the heart of the White Mountains.
Day 3 (June 30)
After breakfast, we’ll take on the second portion of the Pemi Loop. This is arguably the more scenic of the two days as we get on the ridge and experience the 360-degree views of the White Mountains. We’ll hike back to our campsite, have dinner, and a good night’s sleep.
Day 4 (July 1)
You will have a choice to get up early for a short hike or rest and sleep in. After breakfast, we’ll make our way back to New York City.
All meals are included, except for food on the drive to and from the destination. We are a vegetarian company and happy to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Looking to challenge yourself? The Escarpment Trail forms a link in the 340-mile, New-York-to-Albany Long Path. Hiking the full Escarpment is a challenging weekend adventure, but today you will take it on in just one day. This trail crosses seven summits over 3,000’ elevation on some of the most rugged and demanding terrain in the entire Catskills. We’ll hike through hardwood forests, cross swift-flowing creeks, and scramble up and down steep rock faces. These are the fabled mountains where Rip Van Winkle slept, and the trail has some of the most beautiful views in all of Catskill Mountains.
This is the perfect training hike for the Full Devil’s Path later in the summer! It’s just as long but packs in a little bit less elevation.
Windham High Peak and Blackhead are required peaks for Catskill 3500 Club Membership and #33 and #5 Catskill High Peaks (elevation 3,525’ and 3,941’).
Note: Must have prior tall-peak hiking experience in the Catskill Mountains or Adirondack Mountains before joining this hike. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to info@adventureuntamed.com.

Join us on a classic climb of the tallest mountain in the Northeast, with an extra challenge of doing it in precarious winter conditions. At 6,288 feet, boasting 4,000 feet of elevation gain over 4 miles, and harsh, unpredictable weather above treeline, this thrilling hike will challenge even experienced hikers.
Our adventure will take us up and down the classic Winter Lion’s Head Route, and we’ll experience everything from forest trails to the heart-pounding climbs up the steep, snow-covered slopes. Finally, we’ll make our way above the treeline and to the exposed summit cone.
If you are lucky enough to summit on a clear day, you will enjoy gorgeous views of the White Mountains and be able to see as far as Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Experience: This trip is for experienced hikers with prior winter hiking experience. Please contact us at info@adventureuntamed.com for more information. We can help you create a training plan!
Accommodations: 4-person bunk rooms at the Joe Dodge Lodge, 2 nights.
Food: We will have lunch on the road the first day and the last day. Other than that, all meals are included.
Day 1
We’ll depart at 7:00 am, stopping for lunch on the road. After arriving at the Joe Dodge Lodge, we’ll go for a short warm-up hike. We’ll test out our gear and learn crampon and ice axe use, as well as the skills to stay warm, dry, and safe in unpredictable winter conditions. After a moderate scramble to the top, gorgeous views of Mt. Washington will open up right in front of us, and you can trace the route you’ll be taking to the summit the next day. That evening we’ll enjoy dinner, do a gear check, and get a good night’s sleep before the summit attempt the following morning.
Day 2
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll start the summit attempt of Mount Washington. The snowy terrain will get the blood pumping right away. Be prepared for steep ascents, especially as the day goes on and you enter the Alpine Zone and make your way up the summit cone. Once above the treeline, you may encounter extreme weather, but our guides will be there every step of the way to keep you safe. If the day is clear, winter-wonderland views of the White Mountains will open up at the top. The hike down, with its steep descents, can be just as challenging as the way up. Back at the lodge, we’ll unwind, relax, and have a delicious dinner to celebrate the day’s adventures.
Day 3
After a good night’s rest, we’ll pack up, eat breakfast, and relax for the leisurely drive back to New York City, stopping for lunch along the way. You have a choice to sleep in or go on an optional pre-breakfast hike!
