The hiking will be fairly rigorous, but rich with incredible views, including views of both Avalanche Lake and Lake Colden. We are currently planning on summiting Mt. Colden (4,715ft) and Mt. Algonquin (5,114ft), and who knows maybe we\u2019ll bag another peak as well depending on how we\u2019re feeling!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things to keep in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Daily mileage will be in the ballpark range of 7-8 miles, but remember we will be gaining elevation rather rapidly. Also, temperatures are likely to drop pretty low at night, maybe down to 33F, and layering will be important. Good boots are crucial to an enjoyable backpacking trip! <strong>You do not want to do this trip in sneakers<\/strong>, please talk to us if you are interested but do not have hiking boots and we will do our best to help you work it out.
