Adirondack Vacation

We survived our vacation! Despite bears, swarming flies, and forgetfulness (Michelle forgot her pack and Rob forgot water purifying tablets) everything went swimmingly. The weather was gorgeous and we've decided that we love the Adirondacks. Here are some pictorial highlights from our trip. We hiked into the High Peaks Wilderness via Avalanche Pass:

This is Mt. Marcy, the highest point in New York state

And some dirty campers on top


Hanging Spear falls, on the Opalescent River

Lake Colden, where we camped for a week, from the top of Algonquin (the second highest point in NY)

Heart Lake, our starting point at the Adirondack Loj (the founder was into spelling reform)


Canoeing across Middle Saranac Lake in dubious weather
