As a class we went to Paul Smith's to do some cross-country skiing. This was my first time cross-country skiing ever, so it was very exciting for me.

Paul Smith's is a very popular place of tourism. It was named after Paul Smith's hotel, founded in 1859 as one of the first wilderness resorts in the Adirondack's.

Habitat: snow, forest

What I found interesting: the entire time we were cross country skiing, I was thinking to myself how beautiful it was back here in the woods.
