BLUE LINE TO BLUE LINE
BIG THINGS ARE WORTH DOING. They create defining moments of your life. That’s why, when I heard about the 240-mile Trans Adirondack Route, I knew I had to do it.
I’m an impatient person. I never seriously considered taking on a months-long thru-hike like the Appalachian Trail, but the idea of a two-week trek seemed right for me. Long ago I hiked sections of the Northville–Lake Placid Trail, but going from one end of the Blue Line to the other, down through the middle of the park, would bring me to places that I’d never seen. I’m a landscape photographer—the only way to get great pictures is to “be there.” This would be a great opportunity.
The Trans Adirondack Route was created and first completed by Erik Schlimmer in 2013. Schlimmer has taken on all sorts of self-created.
