James Appleton
I grew up in the heart of the Adirondack Park (ADK), the largest wilderness area in the continental United States, but it wasn’t until my early 30’s that I truly took advantage of the outdoors. It quickly became an obsession, leading me to become an Adirondack 46’er (climbing all 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks). I have since hiked countless other mountains, backpacked the 138-mile Northville Placid Trail, and started a hiking challenge and podcast chronicling my days on the trail.

What I provide
I’m a firm believer in starting on smaller peaks, where each hike can build off the last leading to bigger and bigger mountains. I am a virtual hiking guide to ADK adventurers, aspiring ADK 46’ers (planning your journey from 1-46), and Northville-Placid Thru-Hikers (planning all 138 miles).
