Baker Mountain Trail in Saranac Lake has been refurbished by an Adirondack Park stewardship with local partners. Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! The 1-mile trail has gone through work to reduce erosion, a topic of great concern for the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) in its efforts across the High Peaks region. Erosion issues have been combatted, and steps taken to improve and protect the environment surrounding the trail. Baker Mountain's way to the top has undergone heavy recreational use, compounded by poor trail design in ways common among longstanding Adirondack trails. Many trails in the park were either built for logging, or with an outdated understanding of how to craft trails.“Trails are a community benefit that drives tourism, supports a healthy lifestyle, and so much more,” said ADK Trails Manager Charlotte...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:54:33 GMT

That’s essential in the AFC West, where Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes rules. So can Frank Clark and Randy Gregory get the job done?
