ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
HOW TO BECOME A 3-6-9ER!
The Adirondack region is rich with popular outdoor challenges. From the 46 High Peaks and the Fire Tower mountains, to the recently created 50 Falls Challenge, there are endless adventures to be found.
The newest Adirondack hiking challenge is the Tri-Lakes TRIFECTA. Taking place in Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, and Lake Placid, the TRIFECTA takes hikers through three beautiful Adirondack villages.
All hikers must summit 3 Tupper Lake peaks, 6 Saranac Lake peaks and 9 Lake Placid peaks in order to complete the challenge. All hikes are family and pet friendly, and all trails are marked and maintained.
The Tri-Lakes TRIFECTA was created by avid, local hikers who were looking for a new quest. Are you ready to conquer the TRIFECTA? Plan your journey to the Tri-Lakes today!

LNT Recommendations for Getting Outside During COVID-19
Just because times are tough, doesn't mean the Leave No Trace 7 Principles fly out the window. Our shared spaces need us to act as stewards more than ever.
Remember, it is still just as important to prepare for spring weather conditions, stick to trails, dispose of our waste properly, minimize fire impacts, leave what we find, keep a safe distance from wildlife, and do your best to eliminate general impacts.
We are all in this together. Be considerate of others in the outdoors by ensuring that you practice physical distancing, meaning staying at least 6 feet away from anyone not living with you.

About Us
The 3-6-9er SUMMER Patch!
As two avid hikers who are always looking for a new adventure, we created the concept of the Hiking Challenge Scratch Off Card. We were looking for a unique and fun way to log our hikes and track our progress, and the peakquest
scratch off card was born!
Each one of our beautiful scratch off cards will become a conversation piece that you will want to display and keep as a memory of all your hard work forever.
To view all of our hiking scratch off cards and other hiking related keepsakes, go to peakquest.org.
