- I am planning to go to the Adirondacks over Christmas, and was looking at the
- Range Trail as a possible route for a 4 day backpack. Can you send me more
- information about the conditions, and degree of experience required. What part
- of the trail requires ice-climbing experience? Is it the climb to the Gothics?
-
- Thanks.
