Although we love living in the city, and all the opportunities it affords us, we also love to get outdoors away from people and exploring nature. We find that having a goal to work towards helps us be intentional about our plans. Someday we hope to climb the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks, but since we have very little ones, for now we’re focusing on the Fire Tower Challenge. The challenge is to climb 18 of the 23 mountains with fire towers in the Adirondacks, as well as the 5 mountains with fire towers in the Catskills.
Of course, the best part is the view…
