A smaller forested wilderness in the Adirondack Mountains that is part of the Adirondack Forest Preserve. This wilderness area consists almost entirely of higher evelation as the lower evelations all contain human made structures.
(Super)natural Disasters
The area is affected by a number of natural and supernatural disasters on a regular basis. During the year there are regular powerful thunderstorms due to its proximity to the
Thunderbird Mountain Pocket Dimension causing many rift events which cause very powerful storms. The peaks are also a hunting ground for some of the
Thunderbirds home to the pocket dimension. During the winter there are very powerful snowstorms and blizzards. During spring and fall with extended droughts there are also smaller
wildfires.
Recreation
The area is a popular location for summer and winter recreation activities. These include hiking, primitive camping, hunting, trapping, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, freshwater fishing and wildlife watching. As there is not much infrastructure all travelers need to be equipped properly and prepare potential issues. The area is accessible via from Route 9N, Crow's Clearing, Hurricate Road, Hurricane Moutain Lane and Wells Hill Road. There are three trails all leading to the Hurricane Mountain.
Inhabitants
The wilderness has a large population of dryads. They are spread out across the entire wilderness and can be found at all altitudes with tree coverage. The area is a single dryad forest with a good dozen different groves and species. They are part of the
Dryad Wilderness Federation of the Adirondack Mountains.
