Adirondack Slides
Slides are an important process in the mass wasting of the
Adirondacks high peaks. Slides also allow a means for mountaineers
to scale a trailless peak without fighting the dense foliage New
slides form over the years, but it takes a long time for them to grow
over again. Here is a page showing the Adirondacks slides in
their many forms.
