August Vacation

 

  We got to our Air BnB in Saranac Lake which was located just about a mile from the trail head to Baker Mountain.  It was early enough in the day that I went up for a look at McKenzie and Haystack Mountains and the High Peaks to the east and the village and mountains to the west.
  The next morning I dropped Gail off with the kayak near Middle Saranac Lake and headed to Ampersand Mountain for what many describe as the best view in the Adirondacks.  I have to admit I like fog, but I think I'll go back someday on a clear day.  It was a nice hike through a large section of old growth forest.
