Lake Placid, New York
Filed under: There, Inspiration
Like any Coloradoan, I felt nothing short of a trip to the Himalayans would satisfy my homesickness for the Rocky Mountains. But after a few years curiosity (and desperation) got the better of me, and I made my way to the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Lake Placid was the destination, and my hopes were far exceeded by the small but thrilling town that had twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Sitting comfortably in the ski lift, riding above the snowy trees, I finally forgave the Adirondacks for not rising a mile high.
