>>2722125Understood about wanting to make the most of your time. If you're into watersports like kayaking, you could also do that when you're not hiking. I always like doing that at the end of my ADK trips when my legs are usually sore.
It's worth mentioning that my legs ONLY get sore after big hikes in the Adirondack High Peaks which speaks to how incredibly rugged the terrain is. I can hike big days in New England and out west and be fine the next morning. Not so much in the ADK which have the most punishing hiking trails in the entire country, bar none.
