Sam Lamberti, left, and Wendy Patunoff, both of the Plattsburgh area smile atop the summit of Big Crow in the town of Keene on Monday. The two friends are avid hikers, with Patunoff saying the mountains and their trails are like a fitness gym to her. Numerous High Peaks, along with the Keene Valley, are seen in the background.
