A note about levels.... Level 1: Short, easy, super-beginner friendly hikes at a leisurely pace with relatively little elevation gain. Think Gile sunsikes and trips to Mink Brook! Level 2: Slightly longer but still beginner friendly hikes with slight elevation gain, typically half day trips! Think Holt's Ledge or Moose Mountain! Level 3: Longer trips with moderate elevation gain and mileages! Think Smarts and Cube! Level 4: Longer trips with more significant elevation gain and mileages! Think Franc Ridge or the Kinsmans! Level 5: Trips with the most significant elevation gain and mileages! Think Madison, Adams, and Washington!
