Mt Jo Hike - Adirondacks hiking

Mt Jo is a small peak in the Adirondack Mountains. It is located in the Adirondack Mountain Club land next to the Loj. It is the perfect beginner's hike. It also gives a sense of what it takes to bag a 4,000 ft peak. During summer you can swim or paddle in Heart Lake which is located at the foot of Mt Jo.
There is a fee to park. You may park for free on the road however you will have to walk a long ways since parking is not allowed near the AMC entrance. It is recommended to come early since parking fills up quickly. Once inside the AMC look for a ranger's station which is a good place to get information.
You will also find hikes to many 4,0000 ft peaks as well. You can launch your hikes from a car camping spot or go on a multi day backpacking trip. Be sure to check in before hiking even if it is only a day hike.
Wright Peak is a 4,000 ft peak located here that can be hiked in a day. Click link below for a video of the Wright Peak hike.
