ADK High Peaks Trails and Map Pack (15th Edition) 
Edited by Tony Goodwin  

The High Peaks Trails and Map Pack includes the 15th edition (published in 2021) of High Peaks Trails and the Trails Illustrated Map 742. This pack covers the 46 highest peaks in the Adirondacks.

The 15th edition addresses the significant zone changes that have been implemented by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, as well as new acquisitions, new trails, reroutes, restored and altered trailheads, and parking regulations.

Notable changes include Boreas Ponds access information, closure of the Porter Mt. trail from the Garden, numerous additions to the Champlain Valley trail network, and a whole new Northwestern Section, covering trails in the remote territory east of Route 30 north of Paul Smiths. Also new is a chart comparing approaches to Mount Marcy. The book is also smaller in size, to fit more easily into a backpack.

The Map Pack includes the High Peaks Trails guidebook and Lake Placid/High Peaks Trails Illustrated Map 742.

Guidebook specs: 312 pages. Softcover. New compact size: 5″ x 7″.
