The Adirondack Mountains is a mountain range in upstate New York containing more than one hundred peaks at heights ranging from just over 1000 feet to over 5000 feet high. The area really shows off its splendor in the fall, when the changing leaves are at their peak, but year-round activities make the Adirondacks a great place to visit at any time of year. Hiking, canoeing, and camping are some of the most popular activities in The Adirondacks and many of lakes are good for fishing and boating as well. However, if you visit during the colder months, the several ski resorts and Nordic ski trails provide plenty of winter fun.
