Tips for Seeing Fall Foliage in the Adirondacks
Fall is one of the most bewildering times to enjoy the Adirondacks. The weather is mild, the bugs have retreated, and the leaves put on the most glorious color display as they change from green to yellow, orange, red, burgundy, or brown. But as it is one of the most popular times to get out and enjoy the Park, it’s important to think about how you can minimize the footprint of your experience and maximize your fun before you hit the road.

Bald Eagles - Teaching the Past and Showing the Future
“Look, mom!” My 6-year-old son points excitedly to a large raptor about 150 feet off the bow of our canoe. “It’s got a fish!” With its huge wings, dark body, and white head and tail, there’s no mistaking this bald eagle.
