From a quick weekend getaway to a week-long family ski trip, there's plenty to see and do in the Adirondacks.
If you're looking for family activities, you've come to the right place. Here in the Adirondacks, we have endless opportunities for travelers to get out and explore the reasons we love living here.
There are 46 High Peaks — two of which are more than 5,000 feet high — to tackle, mountains to ski or ride, and vast evergreen forests just waiting to be explored on cross-country skis or snowshoes.
The hardest part of planning your excursion is simply deciding which of our many outdoor activities you want to start with!
