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. 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 Cloudsplitter Gondola Ride to the summit of Little Whiteface. Drive the Whiteface Veteran's Memorial Highway to the summit, and lean into the Adirondack breeze as you marvel at the world below you.This well-known mountain offers exciting and scenic runs for skiers of all levels: Beginners do well on Easy Acres, which features its own ski school, novices and intermediates enjoy Little Whiteface, while experts head to the heart-pounding summit.

Suddenly, you are worlds away, strolling through pristine forests and intimately close to four splendid waterfalls. Arrive curious, leave transformed by the forces of nature that created this spectacle. Eight miles East of Lake Placid, High Falls Gorge is an affordable way to relax and refresh among some of the most stunning sights in the Adirondacks.

"Let's face it: The $45+ price tag for a family of four is kind of steep, especially for something handed down to us from Mother Nature. But once I got over the pain to wallet, this turned out to be a perfect half-day outing for two adults and five-year-old twins. The waterfall trail is very well gro..."omed and all the bridges, stairs and safety arrangements are in perfect order. And you definitely want that with a raging waterfall under your feet. We went there in spring, so the melting snow on the mountains made for a spectacular show in the waterfalls!
Once we were done with the waterfall, we took the Nature Trail along the side of the mountain down to the river. With its steep inclines and rocky terrain, was just about what two five-year-olds could handle, but they LOVED it!
Overall, a great experience for a family with young kids!

Call a couple of days ahead so that you can reserve space on the 1 mile wolf walk where you will learn many interesting facts abt why our domestic dogs engage in the be..."haviours they do & how it relates to wolves. You will be led on the walk by Steve & Alex & the wolves on leads. There are no words to describe how amazing it is to see the wide asst of wildlife there up close & learn from all the dedicated staff & interns. The setting is also quite beautiful! Steve & Wendy have created something quite remarkable! Don't miss it!!! There is a FB pg & website where you can learn quite a bit before you visit!!!
