Fall Foilage II

We stayed a couple of extra days in the Adirondacks and made a trip up to Lake Placid. The weather remained an unstable friend. But walking under the colorful tree leaves multiplied the sun leaving one with a much "lighter" impression, much like walking under a sun screen.

A short hike around Heart Lake and up nearby Mount Jo along the Indian Pass Trail was well worth the effort considering the views into the foilage and over towards the Lake Placid ski jumps.





Mirror Lake at Lake Placid sure lived up to its name showing some amazing early morning pictures.

Fall Foliage I

The visit of two friends in the city, Columbus day long weekend, what other excuse did we need for a trip up north, by invitation of a common friend who owns a cottage close to the Adirondack National Park and not far from the Canadian border. First half of October - perfect time to peak the famous foliage. The weather did not fully cooperate. While Saturday was grey and rainy, Sunday spoiled us with wonderful sunshine, mild temperatures, and a mostly blue sky! We spend the day on Tupper Lake chilling out in the sun and having some fun.
