East Dix name changed to "Grace Peak"

Saw this article and thought it was cool. East Dix has been renamed "Grace Peak" after Grace Leach Hudowalski, the first woman to climb all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks. That's pretty special. What a great picture of Grace! JP

Some background info on Grace from the official ADK46er website: http://adk46er.org/news.html

My friends mom in high school was a finisher, probably somewhere in the low 3000's for overall finishers? I never managed to get up any of them, I had a fledgling interest in hiking towards the end of high school, but never managed to explore it. Typical teenage procrastination? Or just no car? :oops:
