Fall 2013
Welcome to another North Country autumn. Our colors are a little more colorful, our air is a little more crisper and our festivals are a little more melancholy since we know well that winter is just around the corner. Fall is a great time to spend looking for farmers markets, picking apples or going on hayrides. After Halloween, you might want to try your luck at hiking some of our many hiking trails or frequenting specialty shops and then serv- ing home cooked foods for Thanksgiving. After turkey day comes the opening of ski season, snowmobile season and ice skating season.
Pick your favorite pastime and have a great time.
While here, make sure you browse our calendar pages and pick your favorite destination. Our local townspeople will welcome you no matter how far you’ve traveled to visit us. And our res- tauranteurs will prepare that special meal once you get the urge for some great Adirondack home cooking. Barbecue, Oriental,
Mexican, American, Italian, or Native American; we have the perfect kitchen waiting for your taste buds.
Then find some wonderful deserts and home cooked pies at one of our many country stores (see our Country Corner section). Once done eatin, read about the best place to relax the night away in our Nightlife section. We have all kinds of music but our favorite involve the guitar, the violin and the banjo. Eeeeehaaaawww.
Anyways, glad to have you here before the ground freezes over.

Imagine this scene: It’s a chilly night, the sun has set, and you’ve found yourself in a dark cemetery surrounded by ghosts. These ghosts aren’t made of two holes cut out of a sheet; they are actual people who died a hundred years ago and are now standing before you. For two nights in October, this is reality. For two nights, the Warrensburg Graveyard will come alive.
October is the month best known for the beginning of
Autumn: leaves changing color, a chill in the air, and- of course- Halloween, which celebrates everything spooky. But in
Warrensburg, October has also become a time for celebrating true ghosts of the past- the men and women who shaped the town with their actions. These personalities of the past will be represented by actors from the Warrensburg Historical Society.
Each actor will bring to life a man or woman from the town’s first hundred years, ranging from a savvy businessman to a museum founder to a shirt factory worker, all with fascinating stories to tell. Graveyard guides from times gone by will lead the tour, which begins at 7:00 P.M., and guests will have a chance to ask questions and discover more about the characters who helped build the Warrensburg community.
These graveyard walks, which will take place on the 18th and the
25th of the month, will be followed up with a delicious Fall feast at the Cornerstone Victorian Bed and Breakfast, a quaint and immaculately furnished Inn featuring delicious gourmet food and old-timey hospitality. Then to top things off, on Sunday the
27th Warrensburg will be featuring their annual “Dinner With the Dead.” If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to share a meal with someone who lived over a century ago, now is your chance. “Dinner With the Dead” is a meal that will be haunted by history, with more ghosts of the past who will give you the opportunity to learn what life was like in the 19th century over a satisfying sit-down supper. Reservations are required for these events- contact Sandi Parisi at 623-2207 to make sure you won’t miss out on any of the fun.
Micah Waldron is a recent graduate of Empire State college. She spends most of her time writing, teaching a children’s art class, and exploring antique shops. The Adirondacks are and always have been her home.

Glenwood Manor is stately on the outside, with ivy spreading up its faded brick walls, colonial-style gables and chimneys jutting out from the roof, and a number of forest green shutters framing antique-glass windows. Once inside, you’ll find it holds a maze of fascinating relics from times past. Thirty-four rooms harbor vintage furniture, books, ephemera, clothing, and charming knickknacks, making use of every inch of space for the wares of twenty-eight dealers. Everywhere you turn is something new to see, marvel at, and possibly take home.
This November, as in past years,
Queensbury’s Glenwood Manor Antiques is hosting a Christmas Open House.
Both the manor’s exterior and interior will come alive with decorations, which include dozens of themed Christmas trees. Last year’s Open House featured a tree decorated with cookie cutters, one adorned with antique jewelry, and another covered with keys. The trees, along with
Christmas lights and a vast array of vintage
Santas and other decorum, make for a cozy, fanciful display. The Open House will also include complimentary gift wrapping, discounts and coupons varying with each vendor, and an assortment of delicious free refreshments. Throughout the holiday season, Glenwood Manor will also be employing a wish list program- lists of items that shoppers wish to receive will be held on record so that others may come in and purchase these to give to them.
While Glenwood Manor is a fun place to visit anytime of the year, make sure to stop by during the Christmas Open House-
Saturday the 30th of November through
Sunday the 1st of December- and pick up some great vintage finds, cookies, and holiday cheer.

By Micah Waldron
New Year’s Eve is an exciting holiday- a time for thinking back on the events of the past twelve months and looking forward to starting fresh and new in the upcoming year. This time of reflection and celebration makes it the perfect night to spend with family and friends, doing something everyone can enjoy together.
One way to uniquely usher in the New
Year is to go skating at Lake Placid’s
Olympic Oval. Skate Into New Year was created to be a family friendly ways to celebrate the turn of the year. The event is for charity, and all of the proceeds from admission prices will go to the Lake
Placid food pantry and to local skating organizations to teach local children to skate. Participants are also encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item as a donation. This year’s admission price is yet to be determined but in previous years has been around $5.00 a person and is always free for students- elementary through college- with student ID. So far, the event has donated approximately
$5,000 to local charities. Skate into 2014 will be Lake Placid’s seventh annual
Skate Into New Year.
The town of Lake Placid is best known for its winter sports, so it makes perfect sense to incorporate these into the holiday celebrations. Skate Into
New Year- which will take place from 10:30 to 12:30 A.M.- is a fun and recreational event that feels like a party. Refreshments- baked goods, coffee, and hot chocolate- are provided by local establishments. In previous www.AdKGuestInformer.com

7 years, some attendees have dressed up in big glittery hats, sunglasses, and colorful costumes to celebrate the momentous day. If people would rather not skate, they’re still invited to come hang out, have some refreshments, and enjoy the festivities.

THE HIGH PEAKS REGION
Cascade Mountain
(4,098’moderate)
This mountain is the easiest of the high Peaks to climb and offers tremendous 360-degree views of the high peaks region, the Keene Valley, as well as Lake Placid. The trail is a consistent uphill climb but it is not steep. The summit itself is an interesting plateau of rock formations and some dangerous cliffs. Once exiting from the evergreen forest, follow the cairns to the summit. Access the trail from Rte. 73 near the
Lower Cascade Lakes. This trail has an elevation gain of over 2,000 and is about 4 hours RT.
Giant Mountain
(4,627’difficult)
This high peak is the closest peak to the northway and offers amazing 180-degree views at the top.
Follow the Roaring Brook Trail to the rocky summit. From the summit view Schroon Lake,
Vermont, Quebec province, the Dix range and the KeeneValley. Be prepared for mud and many steep sections. This trail is not recommended for children or amateurs as there is some ClassIV scrambling. A more scenic trail is the RidGe tRail. hiking time is about the same but this trail is much steeper and much of it is exposed to the weather.
Wear a hat and sunglasses if choosing this route.
Access from Rte. 73 directly across Chapel Pond.
Both trails are about 7 hours RT.
Lower Wolfjaw
(4,175’difficult)
Nestled off Rte. 73 in Keene Valley, the trail for this high peak passes near the summit of
Rooster Comb (a moderate trail up to this point) and hedgehog Mountain (3,369 ft.) The views of the Keene Valley as well as the Dix Mountain wilderness are spectacular from this trail, which zigzags to Rooster Comb and then gains steady elevation to hedgehog with some third grade scrambling to reach the summit of Lower
Wolf Jaw. Onceon the summit, enjoy great views of Gothics, Marcy, Algonquin, and many other high peaks.
Algonquin Peak
(5,114’extreme)
This isthe second highest mountain in the
Adirondacks and a true adventure in every sense of the word. This trail is for experienced hikers only. See waterfalls, amazing vistas, and hike above timberline but be prepared for winter conditions at any time. From the windy summit, views extend to Lake Placid, most of the ADK high peaks, as well as to the cone of Whiteface. From Rte.
73, follow signs for ADK Lodge. About 8 hours RT.
Noonmark
(3,556’difficult)
This is one of the most spectacular 360-degree views in the Adirondacks. Situated near the town of St. huberts and just across from Round
Mountain, noonmark is a moderate to difficult hike just 90 minutes past Round Pond. The last mile of the trail (also known as the Felix Adler
Trail) is a continuous climb into an all-pine forest and eventually the rocky summit. View the Great
Range,Dix,Giant and the Ausable River Valley.
Porter Mountain
(4,059’moderate)
This is Cascades’ sister peak located only 0.7 miles from the turnoff trail for Cascade. The short trail follows the ridge betw een the two peaks. View
Cascade and Big Slide Mountains from the summit.
Round Pond
(easy)
This is a short 0.5 mile hike to a lovely round pond situated in the highland notch between Giant
Mountain and the Dix Wilderness area. The trail follows a small stream to the highland lake with the trail continuing on an isolated leanto near the summit of Dix. Access the Round Pond trail from
Rte.73 parking lot only minutes from I-87 exit 30.
Round Mountain
(difficult)
This little peak is located directly across Giant
Mountain but is designated difficult because the last mile of trail is a true climb with hand use necessary and many steep sections. A half mile past Round Pond, bear right and follow signs for
Round Mountain summit. The trail will follow many small brooks and includes a small section in the beautiful mountain gorge. Enjoy views of
Giant, Dix, and noonmark. About 6 hours RT.
Wright Peak
(4,580’ extreme)
This high peak lies only half a mile from windswept Algonquin. Follow the same trail as if you were going to Algonquin but turn left at about 4,200’ (sign marker for Wright) The summit is exposed so be prepared for wind and chilly temperatures.
CENTRAL ADIRONDACKS
Pharaoh Mountain
(2,556’ moderate)
This is perhaps the most scenic trail in the central region of the Dacks. Take exit 28 on the northway and follow Rte. 74 about five miles to the trailhead parking lot. The swiNG tRail will wind 3.7 miles through a beautiful, old wood forest passing many tranquil ponds and gently flowing brooks, until merging with the main trail near the base of the mountain. Rest here near a cool stream and then proceed the remaining 2.3 miles to the summit. On the way, pass beautiful conifer trees but be wary of slippery rocks. The top has four splendid views of the area. See hoffman Peak to the west, the high peaks to the northwest, Lake Champlain to the east, and Schroon and Paradox lakes to the southwest.
About 7 hours round trip.
Chimney Mountain
(2,721’ moderate)
The lure of this small peak is the intriguing rock formations on the summit, as well as a series of small ice caves, the biggest being Eagle Cave. This trail ascends directly uphill so, although it is not long, it is steep. From Rte. 87, take exit 23 to Rte. 9.
Take 9 north five miles to 28 north towards Gore
Mountain. After about 30 miles you will see a big chair on the right. Go five miles past the chair and make a left to Chamberlain Rd. Continue straight past thefirststopsign,overthebridge,thenpast
Starbuck Rd. and over a second bridge. Continue straight past a private camp to parking for trailhead. Bring the bug spray. About 2 hours RT.
457 Rt. 32 North Schuylerville, NY 12871 • 518-695-6663
Hadley Mountain
(2,675’moderate)
Get a beautiful view of Great Sacandaga Lake and climb a restored fire tower on this short hike.
The trail has some steep sections, but is of short duration, as the entire round trip can be made in about than three hours. From exit 21 on the northway, drive towards Lake Luzerne (9n) and then make right to Rte. 4. Go over hudson bridge and make right to Rte. 1. Follow signs for Fire
Tower to parking lot.
Hoffman Peak Wilderness
(easy)
From Rte. 9 in Schroon Lake , take hoffman Road six miles west to Loch Muller Road, turn right and drive to end. If you are looking for solace and true wilderness, then there are several very remote trails youwill appreciate in this area. The trails here are overgrown, and be prepared for mud and plenty of insects, but also two pristine mountain lakes. From the main trail, steep ridges rise along both sides of hoffman notch, and the best views will be at Big Marsh—about four miles from the trailhead. Two of the three trails in this area are lowland trails with no access to the summit of hoffman. The shortest trail is a one hour walk to
Lake Leary.
Crane Mountain
(3,200’ difficult)
This is one of the shortest vertical hiking trails in the central region, but the reward lies in the scenic trail and view from the summit itself.
The trail is a modest ascent almost the entire way to the summit and follows a small brook during the first 0.25 mile. Because the trailhead is alreadyat altitude, the remaining 1,200-feet ascent takes no longer than an hour and one is quickly emersed in an evergreen forest. Along the way, the use of ladders is necessary, but you should find solace at the top because this trail is relatively unknown. Take exit 23 on the northway and head towards Warrensburg. Turn left at the second traffic light and follow signs to
Thurman/Athol.
Blue Mountain
(3,750’ difficult)
Located in hamilton County on Rte. 28n, this beautiful peak is just a mile east of the hamlet of
Blue Mountain Lake and a half mile up the hill form the Adirondack Museum. Since the trailhead is located at 2,200 feet, the elevation gain is a little over 1,500 feet and about two miles each way. The trail itself is well maintained with a large number of wooden planks which are necessary because many small mountain streams cross the path. At first the trail is a wide, gentle slope, but becomes increasingly steep. The last mile of the trail is a sharp incline, but the view from the fire tower on top of the mountain is a fitting reward for those who attempt the hike.

9 Fall 2013
By Ali Hibbs
Changing leaves give off brilliant hues of gold, red and amber across languishing mountains soon to be covered in snow, reflected in rippling lakes and offset by chilling blue skies. The breathtaking spectacle draws myriad visitors every year, who come for the scenery and stay to enjoy the local customs and cultural events of the season.
Among the most uniquely American of these events is the aptly named
Flaming Leaves Festival held every autumn in Lake Placid.
Scheduled to take place this year on October 12-13, The Flaming
Leaves Festival brings together distinctive American culture, the famously spectacular natural scenery of upstate New York and the shared national history of Lake Placid.
The village of Lake Placid in Essex County is best known as the historic two-time site of the Winter Olympics. In 1932, the village was home to the very first Winter Games held in the US. Forty-eight years later, it became the setting for the famed 1980 “Miracle on
Ice” victory by the US Olympic hockey team over the heavily favored and long-winning Russian team. Today Lake Placid remains a favored destination for winter sports enthusiasts, boasting top-notch Olympic ski jumping and ice skating facilities and playing host to important competitions as well as to local cultural and music festivals.
Organized by the New York Olympic Regional Development
Authority, The Flaming Leaves Festival is a two-day event held every fall for the last 12 years. Each year, fiery leaves can be viewed from the grounds of the Olympic Jumping
Complex or an elevator ride can be taken to the top of the
120-meter ski jump for a better view of the surrounding mountains. Ski jumping competitions take place overhead as live bands play the blues. Lawn games, craft vendors and plenty of BBQ provide fun and food for friends and families.
This year, in addition to traditional festivities, attendees are also able to witness some of the nation’s best winter athletes compete to qualify for a possible position at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. For no additional cost, fall revelers will be able to see top ski jumpers compete in the US Ski Jumping Championships and the US Nordic Combined on
October 13. Winners will be in the running to move on and vie to compete in the international games this coming February.
Flaming Leaves kicks off at noon on October 12 with music by Funky Blu
Roots. Admission is free with an Olympic Sites Passport or 1- and 2-day tickets ($16 and $27 for adults) can be purchased at the gate.

By Josh Burlette
As the crisp Autumn air fills the valleys of the Adirondack mountains, an ominous feeling comes over the region as winter approaches.
While visiting the quaint mountain villages that fill the region, you’ll be met with harvest time festivities and delight in the brilliant foliage of Autumn.
However, in the shadows of the mountains, foggy valleys and murky lakes mysterious happenings abound throughout the
Adirondack region. Are you staying at a charming bed and breakfast, hiking on a scenic trail or paddling on a deep mountain lake? Chances are there’s a mystery lurking not far away.
Lore of mysterious creatures, ghosts and other paranormal activity can be found in almost every town and village. Here are a few mysteries to get you started in your exploration of
Adirondack haunts:
Bigfoot (Adirondack Mountains)
Stories of Bigfoot sightings are extremely common in the
Adirondacks. Experts from around the country have come to the area to search for this mysterious creature. The remote, deep woods make the ideal setting for Bigfoot encounters in their shadowy depths. Spend some time exploring the wilderness and you never know what you’ll encounter. Many sightings occur at dusk, so keep your eyes out when you’re making your way through the mountains as darkness falls.
Big Moose Lake (Big Moose)
Chester Gilette drowned his financee, Grace Brown, in Big
Moose Lake in the early 1900s. Since that time, there have been countless sightings of her in the cabin and on the lake. Many people say they have tried to turn on a light and have felt a cold hand. Others have reported seeing her drowning in the lake.
The lore surrounding Grace Brown is abundant. Spend some time in the area and you’ll hear a lot of stories and maybe even experience her presence firsthand.
Skene Manor (Whitehall)
Poised above the rest of the town like a castle, Skene Manor is a landmark in the Village of Whitehall. While it is surrounded by brilliant foliage in the Autumn, it is said to be haunted by a woman. Many believe the woman is Colonel Skene’s wife, who was placed in a coffin in the basement upon her death. She has been known to appear in a the dining area clothed in full-skirted dress, wearing a large ring. In many accounts, she appears for a number of seconds and disappears in a glowing ball of light.
Others have witnessed the appearance of a skeleton. Whether or not you see Colonel Skene’s wife while visiting Whitehall, her presence is almost certain to be felt in this old mansion.

Mountains and neighboring Adirondacks offer him and his family.
10 Fall 2013 ADKguestinformer.com
We turned onto Big Moose Road out of Eagle Bay to look for
Ainsworth Lodge, the Adirondack retreat where I had worked for two summers during my high school years.
When I first saw them swinging above my car, dangling helterskelter from the power line that spans the road, I laughed in surprise. “What do you think that’s all about?” I asked my husband. “Kids with nothing better to do,” he said.
Every year as the number of shoes on the line increased, I realized this had to be something more important. Was it kids celebrating the end of summer camp, or a family of tourists express- ing the joy of “roughing it” in the mountains? Whatever the cause, this occurrence appeared to be an annual event.
More years passed and as the wonderful and varied display of used footwear grew, so did my curiosity. Last summer I decided to attend the Jolly Mooser’s Craft Sale at the Big Moose Fire Station. And there, not a stone’s throw from my vendor’s table, the bur- geoning collection of shoes danced high above the road in the warm breeze.
What a wonderful opportunity for some serious detective work.
Whenever I had a free minute, I studied those shoes. They seemed to be comfortable casual footwear, neat and professional. A lot like the shoes I had worn many years earlier when I worked as a waitress and chambermaid at Ainsworth Lodge.
As soon as the craft sale ended, I packed up my books and headed on to Big Moose for lunch with my friend, the former owner of the lodge. In my experience, no one knew more about the history of Big
Moose than Ida.
When I asked about the shoes, she smiled. “Do you remember going to the end of summer party for those who worked in and around Big
Moose that year?”
I nodded, recalling that long-ago evening at Dunn’s Boat Service. I had been invited to attend a cook-out along with other employees from the resorts, hotels and restaurants in the Big Moose area.
On that evening, we were the ‘guests’. Instead of working to serve others, we relaxed and chatted as we enjoyed the food and drink prepared for us. What a lovely way to end our long summer of work.
By Irene Uttendorfsky
“That’s how it started,” Ida said. “After the party one year, somebody tossed their shoes onto the wire. I think it started sometime in the
1970s. It wasn’t long before flinging shoes became a tradition.”
Now when I look at those shoes, I try to picture the young men and women who once wore them: the legions of waiters, waitresses, bussers, kitchen helpers, dish washers and chambermaids. These hardworking young people served count- less summer guests in the Big Moose area tourist establishments during all those summers. Many of them were invisible, unseen workers who quietly attended to every guest’s comfort and enjoyment during their Adirondack retreat. It seems fitting that they have found a way to remind us all of the part they play in making our summer moun- tain get-away special.
If your vacation brings you north to Old Forge, I hope you’ll take the short trip up Route 28 to Eagle Bay and the
Big Moose Road. There, near the Big Moose Fire Station, you will see this end of summer iconic display. And if you are lucky enough to encounter some of this year’s workers, please remember to say,
“Thank you.”

with two infamous rivers for whitewater kyaking; the hudson and Black rivers. Other Smaller Adirondack rivers are more challenging and have a steeper grade, often with continuous rapids that require more exprience and stamina than the slower flowing Hudson or Black rivers.
Although kayaking is possible from April through October, spring is the best time for kayaking because snowmelt in the spring raises river levels, and this past spring due to a very dry winter and fairly warm spring has seen one of the worst seasons for kayaking in the ‘Dacks.
Now that spring has passed kayakers will remind rely more on rainy weather than snowmelt but unlike other regions of the country which almost always have dry summers the
Adirondacks offer plenty of cloudy and rainy summer days
River kayaking is different from Lake kayaking because the kayak is shorter and lighter to permit better maneuverability in fast running currents the sport is not expensive because there are no fees necessary for participation in kayaking except for the hardware: kayak, paddle, helmet, lifevest, spray shirt, and proper footwear. there are many outfitters in the
Adirondacks that provide rental equipment as well as classes for first timers.
Kayaking has a rating system ranging from class one, which is basically slow-moving water, to class six which is considered life-threatening if the boat tips or capsizes. the Adirondacks is one of the few areas in the United States that offers every level of kayaking depending on the season.
Miroslav Ivkovic is publisher and co-owner of Adirondack guest informant his work with the magazine leads him to travel extensively around our region meeting and talking with fascinating people wherever he goes.

in the dictionary is “adventurer.” If that describes you, then Speculator,
NY just might be the perfect Adirondack getaway as it has just about anything you can imagine for outdoor excitement in an inviting and friendly little village of about 400 residents. There’s camping at campgrounds and multiple “indoor” accommodations; lakes and rivers for fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, etc.; golfing; mountain biking; a ski area that includes summer activities; a wetland nature walk; curio and local craft shops; restaurants and cafes with victuals of every variety and enough surrounding forests and hiking trails to explore for a lifetime. The slogan of Speculator is “All Season
Vacationland” and it appears to be absolutely true.
The heart of the village is located at the crossroads of NY State Routes
8 and 30, two of 14 Adirondack Scenic Byways, so Speculator’s local nickname is “The Four Corners.” That intersection a good place to start making your plans for your Adirondack adventure because that’s where the Visitor’s Center and Chamber of Commerce is located. Like most small
Adirondack villages, it’s a tight-knit neighborhood that feels more like an extended family. The flyers informing you of community events on the bulletin boards in the Visitor Center hallway emphasize that impression.
Speculator, the only incorporated village in Hamilton County, sits right on the northeastern shore of Lake Pleasant. The Speculator Public
Park, a nicely landscaped open area with picnic tables and benches for relaxing on the point where the Sacandaga River begins, faces west, which makes for some excellent on-the-water sunset pictures. Across
Route 30/8 from the Public Park is the Sacandaga River Community
Park which includes a pavilion large enough for community events, a
BBQ pit, a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a children’s play area and an interpretive, handicapped accessible wetland walk called the
Sacandaga Pathway Nature Trail. Both sit just about a 1/4 mile south of the intersection of Routes 30 and 8.
Enjoy the Adirondacks.
There are many options if you’re looking to spend some time in the
Speculator area. Choose from public campgrounds like Moffit Beach on Sacandaga Lake (not to be confused with the Great Sacandaga
Lake) or nearby Lewey Lake just north on Route 30 that both offer tent, trailer and RV sites. If you’d prefer to stay in less weather dependent accommodations there are many local inns in Speculator or the nearby hamlets.
As with many small Adirondack villages, there are no major chain stores in the area, but if you need to restock or forgot to bring something, there are options like Charlie John’s, the Speculator Department Store, Mountain
Market and many others. And if you don’t feel like buying food and cooking it yourself, there are scores of dining options right nearby.
Snowmobiling is a big wintertime activity in the Speculator area. So much so, there are local clubs devoted to the sport. You can even rent a snowmobile so don’t have to bring your own to have a great winter ride.
Nearby Oak Mountain (141 Novosel Way Speculator, NY 12164 - (518) 548-
3606) offers not only winter activities like skiing, snow-boarding, snowtubing and cross-country skiing, they have summer activities like downhill mountain biking trails and a mini golf course as well as an on-site tavern,
Oak Mountain Lodge, with food and spirits. For complete information on the mountain, visit their website at www.oakmountainski.com
For information on lodging, dining and activities mentioned above, check the Chamber of Commerce website. I found the it to be an invaluable and well organized source of information. Visit the site and make your plans at www.speculatorchamber.com.

After the lush green and lazy days of summer, it’s time for the Adirondacks to put on its most chromatic show and that includes music continuing into winter in forms as varied as the colors of the leaves on the mountains. With the cool evenings of fall coming up and then the even chillier nights of winter, it’s important to find those watering holes filled with energy and people moving to the music to keep warm.
Visitors will be here through
“leaf peeping” season and the festivals of fall, but then most of the small towns and even resort villages will return to
“normal” for the off season and that’s when you can catch them at their most authentic with room to move. Then, with the holidays coming up, festivals and special events will lure people back to the mountains to see a stripped down version of the wilderness which will soon be dressed in a formal coat of white ready to welcome a new year.
There are a number of venues listed on our Nightclub page that are scattered throughout the
Adirondacks if you’re looking for a classic pub or tavern to rub elbows with the locals and catch some hometown shows by regional performers. Some even feature nights with karaoke or open mic if you’re considering actively participating in the show. If you’re looking for a larger venue to take in a more elaborate production like a musical play or a classical performance, here are some suggestions.

While I could find nothing definite listed in music festivals for
November and December, rest assured if you check with the websites above while you’re visiting (or look for local activities newspapers), you’ll find something going on nearby for the holidays or just in general like in taverns located near ski areas or snowmobiling hot spots.
Like some of the events listed above, the communities of the mountains reach out to aid others during troubled times on a regular basis. With benefits that often include multiple performers and bands, you can enjoy kicking up your heels while doing a good deed! Keep a lookout as these sometimes pop up with only local notice in the tow n where the action group works or the recipient lives. While some of the animals hibernate for winter, Adirondackers do not hunker down for a
“long winter’s nap.” It’s more laid back and peaceful, but there’s always something going on inside The Blue Line.
