High Falls On The Oswegatchie River

Very simply, this is High Falls on the Oswegatchie River. It is a beautiful spot, and would be a lovely place to camp if hiking in that area or paddling up the river!

Hahaha, High Falls is a very special place for me. Two years ago on my first backpacking trip, i got giardia due to some expired iodine tablets. After vomiting on the 10s for a day, I managed the hike out.  It was only afterword that I realized I still loved the trip and wanted to continue backpacking in the ADKs. So glad I kept at it, it has bcome a truly pivotal part of my life. Awesome video by the way.

@BigFootOutdoors: What a great story! It's always neat to see and hear about people who have times that wouldn't be considered great, but look back with fond memories in the end!!

That's really neat! I've never seen it with snow, but I can imagine it was beautiful. Glad you were able to get up there this fall!

Oh, sweet! Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, it seems especially so in the Silver Lake Wilderness; there seem to be many ponds and streams off the beaten path.

But I probably wouldn't be the first to explore those areas.

Sounds like a good plan. You certainly have plenty of options!
