NY State-Wide Adventures

Fire Tower Treks of Eastern New York

We met the ADK Fire Tower Challenge a few years ago, and published our work, but now we've updated and republished that work with additional fire towers of the challenge and added a few others.  All of these are great family outings to learn about the history of the fire tower system, its observers and history of the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains.  It's a great way to get a few hikes in, as well.

716 Miles of Non-Highway Biking Trails in Upstate NY
"Safer is Better"

Riding a bike is a great way to get exercise, at any age. But you have to do it safely. A bicyclist is no match when sharing the roadway with 80,000-pound tractor trailers, or distracted or texting drivers. You just need to know where to go and how to get to the safer non-highway and off-road trails. Off-road doesn’t necessarily mean mountain-biking on rough and rugged terrain. There are plenty of off-road paved and unpaved trails for “average” people to enjoy. This book directs you to more than 700 miles of trails covering most of Upstate New York, from Buffalo to Albany and Massena to the Southern Tier.
