Happy Thanksgiving! We're in Lake Placid enjoying a Thanksgiving long weekend break! Hopefully by the time you're reading this we are curled up by the outdoor fire drinking a cup of hot chocolate!
We've been down to Lake Placid a few times. It's a short (and very pretty) drive from Montreal (about 2 1/2 hours), there's the perfect place to stop for lunch along the way (the ADK Cafe in Keene), and once you get there it is absolutely stunning! The town is tucked into the Adirondacks, nestled along the lakeshore of its namesake Lake Placid. And at this time of year the fall foliage is so pretty!
There is lots to do in the area—hiking in the Adirondacks (beware the hikes are tough), Olympic tourism, including the Miracle on Ice rink, ski jump, and Olympic bobsled track (it is so rickety!!), skiing in the winter, and a quaint little tourist town to poke around. And there are lots of good restaurants, from pubs and casual spots, to cute little bistros to check out.
We like to stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Lake Placid which has pretty lakeside views, comfy rooms, a nice indoor pool, and a great back deck with an outdoor fire pit. It's a really relaxing spot.
Here are a few pics from a past trip, if you want to see...
XOXO
