Shelving Rock Falls & Mountain
Shelving Rock Falls was a simple hike with an excellent payoff. I went with my hiking group, and we selected this so that some of the members of the group who wanted to start hiking had a good first experience. The falls are gorgeous, and the day was perfect. Also, having good company helps.
The hike was maybe a mile if that, and it was a very minimal incline to the falls. And look at this view:
How gorgeous is that. Some of us wound up going into the rocks to scout around the falls. It was slippery in some areas, so you have to be careful with your footing.
After the falls, we went to hike the mountain itself. The summit of the mountain doesn’t have a spectacular view. I remember I said, “This is it?” as soon as we got there. But, if you wander a bit down the other side, you’ll get an amazing view.
Lake George in all of its glory.
It was a nice payoff for a simple hike. I’d recommend both as a nice day trip in combination.
