Just when Hudson Valley residents have had all they can take of the haze, heat, and humidity of summer, along comes September. The ninth month will have its hot spells, but the sun sets a few minutes earlier each evening, a reminder that we're in transition to the clear, chilly days of October.
For hikers, this may be the single best month to visit the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. The crowds of summer hikers have left, the days are cooler, and you may actually be able to carry enough water for an overnighter. The crisp nights treat us to a star show, and coyotes and owls serenade us to sleep.
