Alba Adventures – Off-Season 5 Episode 3 -Dis-Lodge -  Lake Placid, NY

We would like to thank High Peaks Resort and its friendly staff for making this trip a memorable experience. Having 4 pools for all seasons and lake amenities make it an easy and accessible destination for families to have a great time in the property.

There is so much hiking for families in the Lake Placid area. We decided on Big Crow, which for a short hike gives great views of Giant Mountain, Dix Range and Mount Marcy the tallest mountain in the High Peaks. Those wishing for a longer hike can continue on the   Nun-da-ga-o Ridge, which is a  6 mile loop. For more information on Big Crow and Hiking in the area check out:

The Saratoga Skier’s Blog features first hand experiences of family adventures in the Adirondacks and beyond.  Being a family of hardcore skiers, our families always have a great time on the slopes and have had numerous appearances in our ski videos. We hope for more summer activities with our families in the near future.

ORDA the Olympic Regional Development Authority of New York offers an Olympic Passport to purchase. The Passport allows you to visit the Olympic Sites in Lake Placid.  https://www.whiteface.com/plan/olympic-sites-passport?horizontal_tab=1

We chose Whiteface’s Veterans’ Memorial Highway, being that it is only accessible in the summer. We have skied Whiteface in the winter, and with the Slides rarely open, it gave us a rare opportunity to take in views from the summit. There is an elevator from the Castle, but check to see it is running beforehand. Otherwise the summit trail can be difficult for some.

We also chose the Olympic Jumping Complex.  It is very unique because, there are not many of them and it is one of the longest in the US.  Check out the training schedule to see when the athletes are practicing.  When you take  the  glass elevator up the tallest tower, you can imagine the adrenaline rush, athletes have during a competition.

The Dam Duck Race is an annual community event  organized by Lake Placid Rotary Club.   We are still shocked that our duck came in 3rd out of 1500 ducks.

The Adirondack Wildlife Refuge is a great place to bring kids. The owners and staff are very passionate about environmental issues and  offer a wealth of knowledge. We would highly recommend a visit for families with children of all ages. Entrance is by donation.

High Falls Gorge is on the Ausable River. Their nature trails, built along jagged cliffs, offer families with children of all ages safe access to up close views of the waterfalls. https://highfallsgorge.com/

Our daughter has an affinity for stuffed animals. Almost every trip we take, she has to get a furry pet. The Australian Shepherd named  “Oz” is from Critters in Lake Placid.
