A friend and I are trying to plan a week long backpack hunting trip in the Adirondacks during rifle season in 2018. We're looking to hike 4-5 miles and set up camp, then hunt the surrounding area. Problem is, we don't know which trail or even region to choose because we've never been to the Adirondacks. We're looking for an area that's wooded, but also has large openings, and somewhere close to a good water supply. Can anyone please give me a few pointers on which trails would be good for something like this?
Thanks
