The Adirondacks
A park larger than several US states with more lakes than anyone has bothered to count, an Olympic legacy still visible in a town that hosted the Winter Games twice, and hiking trails that empty out the moment you are a mile past the trailhead.
The best time to visit The Adirondacks is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (82°F). Local time there is 16:26 (UTC-4).
