Albany going west to little falls and return. Are their any dramatic inclines? Also is camping easy?

Nothing really dramatic on the Canalway. Worse case there are occasional short down and ups like when you have to go under an overpass -- down one side and up the other. Regardless, if there was something you felt was too difficult it would be a rather short and easy bike walk.

Hairpin Turn outside Schenectady is steepest...about 1/3 mile long. Up then down.
