 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * I think you're missing something here: it is the "beautiful summer day" that causes the trailhead parking overflow. It's not promotional, pov writing, it's factually accurate: on a rainy day, the trailhead parking is empty.  Might or might not be OR, but it shouldn't be hard to find a source-- the ADK High Peaks guide comes to mind. -- Mwanner | Talk 16:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * But even if you do find a source, it is still irrelevent to the route and is still unencyclopediac tone. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The tone wouldn't be hard to fix ("in fine weather...") and I have trouble finding any situation that frequently causes the shoulders of a road to become lined with cars to be irrelevant to an article about that road, but let it pass. As for the ref., see Goodwin, Tony, ed., Adirondack Trails, High Peaks Region, Lake George, New York: Adirondack Mountain Club, 2004.  ISBN 1-931951-05-5, p. 163. -- Mwanner | Talk 21:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but this is nowhere near being considered "good". The route description especially is full of original research, unencyclopediac tone, and information not in the source. Also, the lead needs to be reworked, as currently it consists of a bunch of general and uninformative statements. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
