ROCovery June ADK Mountain Hike

*Registration Required, no later than the Monday before the trip at 12 PM*
Welcome back to camping season in the ADK (yes, we camp in tents) and tackle mountains with ROCovery.
We will be hiking Ampersand Mountain (and maybe another). This peak is great for folks who have good hiking experience/ fitness baseline, it is a fun challenge that is a great option for those looking to try out a mountain experience.

This trip has a limited number of spaces available, please register soon! If we reach capacity, email jacquelinj@rocoveryny.org to be added to our waitlist.
This hike IS RATED "ADVANCED*
ADK hikes are an exciting challenge to take on. Please be sure that you are physically prepared and ready to embark on this particular adventure. We will be pacing faster than our local hikes with shorter, less frequent breaks, to make sure we complete our mountains (s) in daylight. With extended length hikes and approximately 2,000- 4,000 feet of elevation.
Things to consider before registering... prior ADK or similar experience, and having a good cardio baseline are required.
*Tent sharing may be required on this trip*
*This trip has an age requirement of 18+*
**Are ADK trips a good fit for me?**
Whether we are hiking high peaks, low peaks, hiking in the ADK and on a weekend trip with ROCovery is much more physically demanding than one of our local hikes. Hiking a mile in the ADK can take up to an hour, you can expect miles up nonstop uphill or downhill with little to no flat areas. To ensure your safety and enjoyment of the trip, you must be able to hike for 10-12 hours at a time (all day) in challenging elevation, while carrying all of your required food, water, and supplies needed for the day. It is for your safety that having these physical abilities is a requirement for participation.
If you are unsure if these trips are a good fit for you, please come talk with one of our staff members before registering. If you have a goal to attend an ADK trip in the future we can also help guide you in how to get your body and mind ready to attend!
