Shawn and I I climbed Cascade Mountain, my first mountain in the Adirondack 46 High Peaks. The rocky top is just above the tree line and was socked in with clouds and snow. Cascade Mountain has an elevation 4098 feet. It is the 36th highest peak in the 46 High Peaks. The ascent from the trailhead is 1940 feet, and the hike is 4.8 miles round trip. Coming down we used trash bags to aid us, see the video...

That is NOT how you are supposed to go down the mountain!
