18.) Winter LP9'er: Big Crow, Baxter Mountain, Cobble Hill

Day 1 of the Lake Placid 9'er Winter Challenge. This season has me tackling the winter LP9'er starting with a sunrise hike on Christmas Eve up Big Crow Mountain and Baxter Mountain, followed by a Christmas day hike up Cobble Hill for Winter LP9'er #1, 2, and 3 of 9. Winter hiking sure is a whole different animal than summer hiking.Music Credits: "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms / "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen / "Carol of the Bells" by August Burns RedFollow on Instagram & Facebook:@46of46podcast@jamesappleton46Does your physical fitness ever hold you back from fully enjoying your hiking adventures? Here's 2 ways I can help you:1.)
