Adirondacks, Whiteface Mountain 6/09

After checking out the Americade tents in Lake George we headed up to Inlet, N.Y.

The next day after breakfast we headed for Whiteface Mountain.

Whiteface Mountain is where the downhill skiing was held at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. Whiteface is 4,867 feet high. You can take the bikes up most of the way on Veterans Memorial Highway.

Once on top you can go through a tunnel that is carved into solid rock and runs over 400 feet long into the mountain and take and elevator to the summit.. Or you can hike it. I hiked it but the pictures below are in the tunnel.

You can see Lake Champlain, Lake Placid, Vermont and into Canada on a clear day. For more information on Whiteface you can click on this link http://www.whiteface.com/newsite/summer/highway.php
