INTRODUCTION

The Adirondack Adventure and Whiskey Society is a group of individuals with a shared passion for outdoor adventures and a fondness for whiskey. Activities focus on encouraging personal development, building community, and supporting charitable efforts through group activities and targeted fundraising. The primary focus is on adventures that are best suited for groups as opposed to individuals. We also enjoy good whiskey that reflects the hard edge of the outdoors and the strong character of those who pursue its raw beauty.  While the group will routinely relax and enjoy a drink after a day in the elements, the consumption of alcohol is not a requirement. Non-drinking members with a love of the outdoors are welcome and encouraged.

Garnet Hill Lodge Adventure Center is opened with great snow coverage from this storm. We are in discussions for a member’s outing and tasting later this winter, but if you want to get out sooner, this great access point and starting point for the Siamese Wilderness Area. The Botheration Loop is sweet.
