From Alvah Dunning to Julia Adella Burton Preston to the almost 7000 currently licensed guides in New York State, the Adirondack Guide is a person of legend within the region.

Explore the legendary world of the Adirondack Guide through two distinct programs: an afternoon outing and an evening panel. Grab a bite at the food truck between sessions, and enjoy the flexibility to attend one or both by registering for each program individually.

Panel Discussion | 7:00 -8:00 PM

Enjoy an evening of tall tales, true stories, and romantic history through a moderated conversation with three remarkable Adirondack Guides. Throughout this moderated discussion, you’ll hear about what it take to become an Adirondack guide, their history and traditions, the training required, and favorite exploits and adventures.

The panel discussion is free for all (donations welcome).
