Whiteface Mountain
Whiteface may have made its name in winter—it has the highest vertical drop in the east, after all—but it does summer pretty well, too. Standing on its summit, you'll gaze out at the Adirondack Park. Six million acres—more than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined—thick with white pines and glistening with crystalline lakes and meandering trout streams. Around you stand New York's tallest peaks. To the east, Lake Champlain and Vermont's Green Mountains, and below, the towns of Wilmington and Lake Placid, the Olympic Village.
The warmer months make Whiteface a natural setting for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels and ages, whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush or just an afternoon of beautiful views with your family. Take a hike along the Stag Brook Falls trail or Bear Den Mountain, play a round of disc golf and check out the area's most exhilarating, challenging mountain biking terrain. Or gather the family for an afternoon of taking it all in with a scenic gondola ride to the summit of Little Whiteface. Drive the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway to the summit, and lean into the Adirondack breeze as you marvel at the world below you.
