ADIRONDACKS
Take a trip through time on a Lake George Steamboat Company cruise through beautiful scenery. The Mohican, the Minne Ha-Ha, and the Lac du Saint Sacrement are the company's three boats.

Stairs reach the higher decks.
The Veterans Memorial Highway to Whiteface Mountain
Are you aware that you can drive to the top of New York State's fifth-tallest mountain? The Whiteface Mountain Veterans' Memorial Highway leads to the top of Whiteface Mountain. It's a five-mile drive that goes up more than 2,300 feet. On the way up, take a break at one of the pull-offs to get a great picture or just take in the view of the Adirondack High Peaks that are all around you. At the very top, there is a small castle made of local stone and a lift built into the rock that will take you to the very top, where you can see for miles around. Call ahead to find out when the elevators will be open before you arrive. From May to October, the highway is open.

Then, go outside to enjoy the Wild Walk, a mostly flat, easy-to-reach trail with elevated bridges that winds through the Adirondack trees. You'll see some strange things along the way, like a huge bald eagle's nest, a spider web that's the size of a person, and a four-story treehouse.
