Lake Placid, NY

To our slightly disappointment, we decided to head up north east to seek better foilage. When I was staying the most luxious hotel at Ithaca (BTW, it was a 3 star Holiday Inn...) I checked the NY fall color report. The Adirondacks was in the peak. After 4 hours of outlet shopping, we headed to Lake Placid, NY. It took us about 5 hours including most of night time driving.

It was a wise decision. Lake Placid welcomed us with full spectrum of fall colors, green, yellow, orange, red and burgundy. Especially, when the morning sun shining through light fog, it was very dreamy.

We visited Whiteface Mountain, picnic at Mirror lake and hiked at Cascade Lake. It was a short but easy vacation.






We came back to Ottawa after the 3 day trip. Gatineau park is also a great place to visit in the fall in spite of all the traffic in the park, there were many good places to go. Obrian beach and Wilson Ruins are among our favourite places.



Thanks for reading.

The end.
