Below are some pictures from Cascade and Porter Mountains in Lake Placid, New York, within the Adirondacks. Just shy of 6 miles total, it’s a relatively easy hike if you’re in reasonably good shape.
Cascade Mountain has a bare summit with an incredible 360 degree view. Porter has a wooded summit with an amazing view as well. I won’t even try to identify the mountains in the pictures as I’m completely unfamiliar with the area. However, I loved my first trip to Lake Placid so much that I’ll definitely be spending some serious time there in the future. The idea of hiking all 46 high peaks appeals to me, and the area offers some of the best of every outdoor activity you can imagine.
Enjoy.
