North Country explorer from Harpswell, Maine
Peak Weekend came at the perfect time this year - right when the foliage is beginning to peak out! Hiking up Big Slide via the Three Brothers offered so many 180 degree views of the Adirondacks in all of their glory, and the valleys are just beginning to turn shades of orange and red. From the peak, you could see where the mixed hardwood forest was most dense, and where it started to transition into more spruce-fir. I can't wait to go back in a couple weeks when it is even more colorful!
