Hello everyone! I know I've been M.I.A. for a little bit, but I was on short family vacation in Lake Placid in upstate New York. I'll be doing about 3 posts about it, because there is one or two aspects that I really want to focus on. his first post is just an overview/ here's some cute pics. We stayed at the Golden Arrow Hotel on Mirror Lake. The Lake was Beautiful and the hotel had kayaks, standup paddle board, canoes etc that you could take out for free. The water was nice and clean, very different from the Atlantic Coast I'm used to. I loved kayaking and paddle boarding and hanging out on the tiny strip of sand that lined it.
On the first day we arrived ( after a 5 hour car journey that began at 6 am) we went to High Falls Gorge. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. They had a stair path lining the gorge, some stops had glass bottoms to look down. I'll just let the photos speak for themselves
The next day we went to the Ausable Chasm ( try saying it out loud, quite fun to say). I'm going to be making a separate post about that and I'll link it once it's up, so look out for it! We also decided to head up Whiteface Mountain. Let me tell you, you drive up most of the way and expect stairs to the top. No. You start out with stairs and then hit an uphill battle of rocks and railings. It was manageable ( God bless those little kids who made the climb), but I would hate being there on a rainy day. The view at the top however, is woah. Just wow. Completely worth the rocky path of death on the way up.
Also you'll notice a bit of a blur in the corner due to my dad turning on the date stamp on his camera (it's smaller so easier for a hike) and it bothers me so I blurred it.
We always planned to go to the Olympic Toboggan experience, but when we went, it was closed. I was really bummed as it looked like an adrenaline rush. I'm going to do a post about the village itself, so watch out for that as well.
Thanks for tuning in! See you soon!
Sincerely,
Claire
