Today was bitterly cold with a high of 17 degrees and freshly fallen snow.
The blue skies glistening on the snow this morning demanded a drive to take in some of the scenery in the Adirondack Park Preserve.
Entering Adirondack Park
The mountains are calling…
This region is full of lakes that are now frozen and covered with snow…it is paradise for snowmobile lovers and ice skaters!
Cranberry Lake
Star Lake and Beach…wanna go for a swim? Polar Club members welcome!
Many of the lakes show off the magnificent view of the Adirondack Mountain Range.
Long Lake
There is a little town called Tupper Lake that is my favorite…it is quaint and truly beautiful.
Entering the town of Tupper
Serenity at it’s best!
Heading home the landscape seemed to change with the setting of the sun.
Sunset over Tupper Lake
Sun falling over Crystal Lake
Sun shadows down the mountains
So much more to see…so little time…
Bridge to sights yet to see…
We saw plenty of deer along the way which is always a special treat…a Sunday full of scenery and serenity.
Be sure to visit the album for more photos and thanks for coming along for the ride.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Sunday and that you all will have a great week!
