Because of melting snow, rain runoff, and ice on higher elevation hikes, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is warning hikers to be cautious and avoid trails above twenty-five hundred feet.

Here are pictures from my first trip of the year. I went north and the water level was out of control. Flash flood watch in effect so I thought it would be a good idea to camp up from the water but still sit down near it at night. Fishing was bad, and swimming was impossible with out dieing, but all in all a good trip...
