2024 High Peaks Group Hike is LIVE

Whiteface & Esther Mountains

Saturday August 17th

As of July 2024, I will be a NYS licensed guide. It is my goal and passion to take people out into the great outdoors (ideally in the Adirondacks), to experience its beauty and to push themselves physically and mentally. With good guidance, safety and a high level of preparedness, we will be well on our way to having a successful and fulfilling adventure in the high peaks.

Join us, in hiking the Whiteface Mountain and Esther, two high peaks in Wilmington, NY just outside of Lake Placid on Saturday August 17th, 2024.

Total Cost: $100

Includes:

• Liquori Fit Mountain Club T Shirt

• Custom Training / Coaching leading up to the hike

• Assisted Campsite / lodging booking

• Full preparation assistance: what to pack & what to know

• One of a kind guided group hiking experience: Comradery, fun and a big challenge with a group sharing a common goal.

How it will work:

• We get you and the group ready to go pre hike. Meaning physical preparedness, expectations and everything you need to bring that weekend/day.

• August 16th (Friday night) everyone will either camp or stay in a hotel nearby Saranac/Lake Placid. August 17th (Saturday morning) we will meet at Maplefields gas station to fuel up, grab last minute water, coffee, snacks & use the restrooms.

• Then we will head to the trailhead together. From there we will get ready, I will give a pep talk and a pre hike speech and we will get on the trail!

• We will work together and stay together traveling the trails up Whiteface and Esther mountains! Enjoying a good break at the top of Whiteface before descending.

• Afterwards, the group will be free to go home, back to camp or meet up for some good post hike food!

Testimonials:

"I met Matt when I was invited to participate in a group hike he had organized. Matt was trying to engage people who might not traditionally think of doing a high peak, so our group included a pre-schooler and a variety of skill levels. It was impressive how Matt moved back and forth throughout the group to engage and check on everyone. His enthusiasm is infectious. He created such a warm and welcoming environment even for those of us he had just met. Having a large group to celebrate with at the summits was a singular experience. As I’ve come to know Matt better, I have also grown a deep respect for his character and his knowledge base. I would highly recommend him as a trustworthy guide." - Tracy

I’ve done two group hikes through the ADK with matt, and several other ones besides that. Matt is a close personal friend of mine, so that may make this seem biased, but I think it gives me more of an opportunity to speak about his character and his passions, since I know him on a personal level. Matt is one of the most positive people I know, and has one of the biggest drives I’ve ever seen when it comes to helping other people. He really cares about changing his clients lives, and I admire that. The Adirondacks is probably his favorite place in the world, and it’s so awesome that he is becoming a guide to lead hikes through these mountains. Whenever I have a question about the ADK, Matt is the first person I ask. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area there, and he is happy to share that knowledge, and to talk about it for extended periods of time. The group hikes I’ve done with Matt have been some of my best experiences in the mountains. I can’t wait for the next one! - Nic
