Adirondacks

Adirondacks

The nation’s largest state park can be found in upstate New York.  The Adirondack Park is over 6 million acres, and boasts some of the most beautiful rivers, trails, mountains, and wildlife this world has ever seen (and I’m definitely not biased).

Located within the park are 46 mountains that have been deemed as “high peaks”, or those that were originally surveyed as reaching 4,000 feet or more in height.  Hike to the summit of all 46 of these bad boys and you will earn yourself the title of “Adirondack 46er”.

46er
