Lake Placid

September 19, 2015

Hey! Hope you all have had a great summer! I know I sure did.

Sorry for not posting anything for almost 3 months. I was away working at a camp all summer (except for this one week) and had no access to a computer the whole time. I'm back now and here are some photos of my trip to Lake Placid, New York!

We had this great idea to roll into town and conquer hiking the highest peak in all of New York state the very next day.

Look out Mt. Marcy!

Our trek started out with a 5:30am wake up call and then a drive to the Adirondack Hiking Lodge to start hiking at 6:30am. There were 9 of us on this expedition and we were moving at a fast steady pace.

Indian Falls

We had great weather for the first 3.5 hours however the last half an hour push to the top was a struggle. As soon as we came above the tree lines the rain came down on us. The cold wind picked up and we were certainly disappointed when we made it to the summit around 10:30am and we had no view.

I'm at the top of a mountain! Can you tell?

Just when we'd almost given up hope the clouds started to blow over and....

...the most gorgeous view appeared before our eyes.

Stopped at Indian Falls on the way down.

28km - 5344ft - 9 hours and 39 minutes - through wind, rain and sun

With one day of rest in between we set out to hike Avalanche Pass.

Apparently I'm the only one that packs a dress in my hiking bag for a photo shoot.

Climbing up cliffs for good shots.

Lake Placid is such a diamond in the rough kind of place. A great spot for all of you outdoors and nature minded folks; and for those looking for a great adventure.

Live life to the fullest.
