Hike the Adirondacks
The Lake George region in the base of the Adirondacks is the perfect starting point for a fall foliage hike. Whether you're a senior or an expert hiker there are trails just for you. You'll be amazed that "The air is so fresh, it even smells clean" as my Italian friend said as we hiked through Inman Pond. The hikes lead to views that will take your breath away. Guided hiking excursions will begin Thursday July, 6 2006 and continue throughout the summer every other Thursday into October. Experience the Adirondacks.

Our Pick for a Senior or Family Hike...
Inman Pond is a short 2.5-3 mile hike through the woods which leads to a picturesque pond with a floating bog and a beaver dam. Our Pick for a Mountain Climb... I hike Buck Mountain at least once every year, the 6.6 mile round trip hike takes 2-3.5 hours and is worth every step. When you reach the summit you are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the southern basin of Lake George and surrounding colorful Adirondack Mountains.
