The Works

The trailhead at the Works is one of the more interesting in the Adirondacks.  The remains of the village of Adirondack are spread out along the road in.  Most impressive is the old steel mill.  Less than 200 years ago, this area was clear cut and there was a village.  Today only a few live along the road.

Aspiring 46ers like myself have been to this trailhead numerous times.  A whole slew of mountains can be reached from here: MacNaughton, Redfield, Cliff, Allen, Marshall, the Santanonis.  One can also reach Mt Marcy, though it's not the shortest route.  Each time I come, I like to wander among the old remains.  I would not be surprised if many of these buildings are removed in the not so distant future.
