Thanks, Catamount. Yeah, the one ADK hiking book I have lists this as an 18-hour adventure for average hiking time. I felt pretty good to complete it in 11 with my advancing age and deteriorating condition :-)
I hiked up Calkins Brook HP on a misty morning in '12, we also decided to descend what I call the "Seward Express" Herdpath. It was much drier when we went but it still seemed very long and I got a bee sting on the way down! Keep up the hiking and enjoy your time in the outdoors.
