In the Adirondacks, fall is a special time. The bugs have disappeared, it’s comfortable outside, and the trees in the valleys turn a brilliant mix of yellows, oranges, and reds. It’s a great time to hike and sightsee, and crowds make their way to Lake Placid and the surrounding areas to witness the most beautiful time in the Park. Nearby hikes and High Peak summits become congested, which, for a reclusive slide climber is less than enjoyable.
The ideal plan for the weekend was to climb a low elevation mountain that also had a slide. This way, we could avoid crowds as well as have exceptional views during peak foliage.
