Episode #3 - Hikers on shrooms' and the tail of Esther Mountain
We kick things off with the latest trail conditions, then take a wild detour into recent ranger rescues: from a full-blown hallucinogenic incident on Cascade to a multi-hour carryout deep. But the real story this week? The legend of Esther Mountain. We dig into one of the Adirondacks' most enduring and mysterious tales — a 15-year-old girl, a misadventure, and a mountain that still bears her name... or does it? Throw in some trailhead trivia, a gnarly hiker story, and a few laughs along the way — and you've got one of our best episodes yet.
