Adirondack Mountains Indian Head Trail Experience

I did the 46er a long time ago, I love Dax, it feels like home, but I never managed to do 2 things - Indian Head and Haigh Falls George. Today I decided to take a walk and finally went to the Indian. I went to the West Trial. River to go to the 2nd waterfalls that I like - bevwr medow and rainbow. I admit that bever impresses me more in the summer! It's a nice winter and this hiking was epic - we have beautiful fresh snow, weather and views!!! The views from the Indians are breathtaking!!!! If I manage to make a reservation, I would like to go there in the fall... the route is not demanding, I didn't use snowshoes, but someone "cleared it out". The trail to the top is ahead of me. I was supposed to go back to the East River Trial, but I got hungry and I was thinking about it all day long. soup. But more on that in the next episode... I highly recommend this route,

11 miles, 5 hours, worth the hike. It is challenging so make sure you are prepared with food, water, etc. The view is super rewarding with a beautiful lookout.

Very beautiful trail for FALL🍁. It also has few subtrails. Views were awesome, definitely worth the hike. We also visiting Rainbow falls in return, it was mind blowing. Rainbow falls is must visit while doing Indian head. Hike is around 14 mile loop, very limited parking so it's mandatory to get reservations done before traveling. Just in case you don't get reservations, buy bus tickets as an entry pass.

You need reservation with 2 weeks of anticipation. Mostly all the hike is following a bus road, so there is no a big challenge just when u start to climb the mountain to the summit. We went during Columbus weekend, it was so so windy that we can’t even take a pic or seat to eat our lunch …a lot rain, muddy. Very slippery! Perhaps during summer will be better, the reservation should include that shuttle, the bus always passed full I think is just for the golf club members. 🙄

I'll give it a 5 star for the summit view and the reversation system, it makes the trail more manageable for AMR and I have to give them credit for being very responsive on all the communications! It's not a difficult one and everyone should be able to do it since there is gravel road (lake road) and more proper trail like paths that takes you up near the stream. You can choose your path depending on your interest, ability, weather and time. I just wish there was more signs with direction and milepost since I know there are more waterfalls and scenic views that you could easily miss it.
