More Lake George 12 today. I had originally planned to do the entire tongue range, but it was a hot and humid day, so I cut it short by hiking out to Fivemile and then coming back to the top of the tongue. Overall, this is a beautiful hike, and on the north end not horribly difficult. The views though, somewhat lacking. There was a slight view at Brown, nothing at Huckleberry, and you had to scramble up a rock off the trail to get any view at 5 mile. I fortunately? didn't see any of the rattlesnakes that the tongue range is known for.
On the way back to the car, I decided I did have a little left in me so I went down to Deer Leap. This was worth it. Best views of the day.
This makes 8/12 for the Lake George 12.
