Hiking

This time of year we want to be outside and enjoy many activities. While you are spending more time outdoors, you need to be aware of these plants that could spread an irritating agent to you, your kids, and even your pets.

You're probably somewhere you're not supposed to be if you find yourself hiking on a trail with a tree that has red paint.

You may think you don't need tips to survive a bear attack until you're actually staring down a 600-pound grizzly in the woods.

You might not even notice it, but there is an entire color-coded system marking trees along the trails you hike in the woods.

If you're planning a hike in the Adirondacks, here's a heads-up from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. They want you to steer clear of trails above 2,500 feet in elevation.

Don't even think about trying to find this tree unless you're willing to do hard time.

There's nothing like the beauty of Mother Nature in Upstate New York during the winter season. However, the unpredictable weather and recent storms in the backcountry have created some dangerous hiking conditions.
