We are in the heart of New
York State's Adirondacks High Peaks Region, where the highest peaks, most
beautiful mountain lakes, and spectacular waterfalls are found. This is a
legendary, historic and truly beautiful area that harkens back to an early,
more simple time. You will love the peacefulness that surrounds you in this
sparsely settled place, and your visit will stay with you forever.
This trip is designed for energetic folks in good physical condition that can do 6 to 8 miles of hiking in challenging terrain under diverse conditions. On most hikes you will see few other people. We will be hiking on well established trails for the most part - no rock climbing, except to take a dunk in a swimming hole to cool off.
Some of the many hikes and options that are available that we may do include:
- The Ausable River to Lower Ausable Lake and the overlook at Indian Head, passing spectacular waterfalls up and back along the way
- Nun da ga o Ridge to "find" Lost Pond and ramble on for sweeping views of the "High Peaks" - among the best in this range!
- Cascade Mountain, one of the high peaks with vistas in every direction
- Noonmark and Round Mountains, real gems with great high peak views
- The John's Brook Valley for great swimming holes
- The Upper Boquet River with its hidden waterfalls - very secluded great for swimming
- John Brown's Farm to see the abolitionist's last resting place and home
- The Lake Placid Village to poke around the shops, and the Olympic Center to see the scene of the 1980 Olympics
- Saranac Lake, a great Adirondack village on Lake Flower with it's old downtown
- Many other trails not mentioned
We stay at a cozy and quiet inn between Keene Valley and Lake Placid in the heart of the High Peaks Region. Our dinners are at great area restaurants.
