I sort of fell off on updating this blog….
Last September (2021) I took my wife on a trip to Lake Placid and stayed at the Crowne Plaza. She’s not big on hiking (high peak hiking at least) so I awoke early the following morning and drove to the Loj to knock out Street and Nye.
It was a cloudy and overcast day so the limited views on these summits wasn’t that big of an issue. I parked in the lot near the toll booth and suited up. The trailhead was across the entrance road near the port-a-potties. It starts as a nice path along Heart Lake that branches to a heard path. Look for the “Street Ski Trail” and don’t get mixed up at the trail intersections. I took a compass bearing on Street before I set out and it proved useful several times at path intersections and stream crossings.
The trail goes up to a fork…right for Nye Mtn, left for Street Mtn.
Nye is pretty close. Street was about 1/2 mile away, Nye 1/4. I chose Street first then Nye.
After hitting the summits it was a backtrack to the car then back to the Hotel. While I love roughing it I have to say that a dip in the hot tub and dinner afterwards had it’s appeal.
