It’s all Uphill From Here Lake Placid Lodge Peaks in the Summer with Outdoor Fun

Lake Placid Lodge Peaks in the Summer with Outdoor Fun

 From Couchsachraga to Sawteeth, and Nippletop to Street, the 46 mountain peaks that comprise the AdirondackHighPeaks boast names as colorful and varied as the stunning views afforded at their summits and the menagerie of wildlife that dot their trails. Steps from the celebrated Relais & Châteaux property, Lake Placid Lodge, more than 2,000 miles of trails snake their way up and down the mountains, creating the nation’s largest trail system.
 
And for those stalwart few who steadfastly make it to all of the major peaks, entrance into the Adirondack Forty-Sixers awaits, an exclusive club of hikers who have climbed to all 46 summits that is dedicated to environmental protection, to education for proper usage of wilderness areas, and to participation in work projects in cooperation with the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation.
 
Every morning the trails surrounding Lake Placid Lodge, and the more challenging nearby high peaks, invite guests for a little exploration, with promises of incredible vistas and the opportunity to embrace nature’s gifts. A cherished pastime to be sure, Americans have always possessed a certain inquisitive nature, pushing them to see what’s just beyond the horizon.
 
Unlike during the Great Camp Era when adventurous spirits first enjoyed the rustic refuge afforded by the Adirondacks, Lake Placid Lodge hikers need not worry about using a compass or campfire cooking. The lodge can arrange an expert guide to lead the way, and guests can order an epicurean lunchtime feast, packed safely into a picnic backpack to enjoy along the trail. Additionally, for those who prefer wheels to boots, Lake Placid Lodge has a selection of mountain bikes available for guests’ use.
 
And as the day winds down, rather than going through the hassle of pitching a tent and attempting shuteye from the confines of a sleeping bag, guests can slip into a custom-made feather bed in one of Lake Placid Lodge’s suites.
