Adirondacks - trip report

This weekend we just decided to jump in the car and see where we end up. We started with Vermont, hoping that foliage already started, but soon we discovered we were a little too early. Once in Burlington, we hoped on the ferry and after one smooth our over lake Champlain we hit the road again, this time on the New York State side of the lake.

First stop: Ausable Chasm, one of the world oldest natural tourist attractions.









Then we moved inside the Adirondack Mountains, towards Lake Placid, host of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. Sunday morning brought to our sight some of the most astounding views we ever encountered.










There was a little fishing involved, but the only fish willing to taste my flies was a little brown trout, way bellow what Ausable river is renown for. And it didn't really matter, the beauty of the landscape compensated for it.











Words are just useless, I think the photos do a better job describing this incredible trip. Strongly recommended if you are in the area!
