The Adirondacks: Where Five Miles Might Take You All Week
by Jess TaylorThe Adirondacks aren’t dramatic like the Rockies—they’re older, quieter, meaner.
It’s not manicured trailheads and gentle switchbacks—it’s blowdowns stacked like pickup sticks, bogs that swallow your boots whole, and spruce so thick it shreds your arms like paper.
You lose the sun in there. You lose cell service, too. Maybe even your sense of direction, or self, if you’re out long enough.
No matter how many hiking apps you downloaded, something will stop you in your tracks—beaver activity, a landslide, a wall of rock.
Out here, the land rewrites the route. You don’t follow a trail. You earn your passage.
Bushwhacking here isn’t a hike—it’s a negotiation with the wild. And the wild doesn’t always compromise.
That’s part of what makes Sangay’s thrillers tick. The danger’s not just in people. It’s in the land itself.
Inexperience becomes its own kind of villain. One wrong turn, one storm too late, and the woods don’t have to lift a finger to bury you.
Out here, you don’t just survive the story. You survive the setting.
