A Day in the Adirondacks: Meacham Lake, Debar Mountain, Lake Placid

Autumn is here!

Bron and I arose "early" Saturday morning to head out to Meacham Lake. It was an hour and a half drive made enjoyable by all the changing autumn leaves. The road side was smeared in color: greens, blazing oranges, burnt yellows, and deep reds. There truly is nothing quite like a New England Fall. It's perfectly gorgeous.

When we arrived at Meacham Lake, we headed straight to the hiking trail of Debar Mountain. It was a moderately difficult hike that took us just less than two hours to climb. We ate our picnic lunch at the top and took in the magnificent view of the other peaks, lakes, and colorful trees.

Down at the bottom again, we explored the shoreline of Meacham Lake and took some more colorful fall foliage pictures. It's the perfect place to camp and relax!

Enjoying the Day Together

Next, we drove to Lake Placid. It's a cute, over-priced, touristy town that hosted the winter olympics twice. Bron and I strolled up and back down the main street, browsing through all the various shops. Of course, we couldn't leave without purchasing a small bag of hand-made chocolates and fudge. Yum!

It was a long day, but totally enjoyable and worth every ache in my legs and feet.

  1. can I just say how jealous I am right now! haha.. 1, I LOVE the fall colors back there. 2, I LOVE Lake Placid. I use to go x-country skiing every year there, but I would stay over in Saranac. How lucky you guys are to be so close to such beautiful things!

  6. You take amazing pictures Jessie, and I know you would absolutely love working with a new camera. Up til this week I've just used the kit lens that came with my camera. It's a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.5. It's a decent lens, but ever since I got it I've wanted a lens with a better zoom and a smaller aperature number. I just got a new lens that I used for the first time today. It's a 50mm f/1.8. I think it will be perfect for taking portraits, and the best part is that it only cost $98. I think you would also really enjoy Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. I have Elements and it is an amazing program! I would love to tell you everything I've learned about photography sometime. Maybe we can share secrets!
