The Olympic Byway, the Roosevelt-Marcy Highway, the Adirondack Trail — eight named state byways and twelve regional drives, with the overlooks, roadside attractions, and foliage windows that make them.
Every swimmable body of water in the Park — public beaches, state campground beaches, swimming holes, waterfalls, and the small ponds nobody writes about. From Million Dollar Beach to Moffitt.
Common loons on every paddleable lake, moose at dusk in the Whitney Wilderness, bald eagles year-round on open water, and the spring warbler migration through Bloomingdale Bog — where to look, when to look, and what to bring.
