Sat, Jul 18: St. Regis Fire Tower The first two miles are relatively gradual, until a bridge over a small stream. Then the steeper approach begins. There are a few scrambles near the summit, which has an awesome view even without climbing the fire tower. Wear good hiking boots, bring enough food and water, and bring/wear clothing appropriate for the weather and tick protection. Trekking poles are always helpful. There are some eroded and rocky areas. We plan on eating lunch at the summit. Round trip a little over seven miles including road walk to and from trailhead. Elevation gain of 1650 feet. Level B. Contact leader Jane Khondker (janekhond@gmail.com) for exact time and meeting location, either at the trailhead or in Potsdam.
