The Lake Champlain Region offers wonderful ways to enjoy fall foliage. Each of these ways offers delightful variations.

The differences in microclimate between sea level and the tops of the mountains mean enough scenery to fill a day, a weekend, or a week. With the time it takes to drive from the coast to inland, or to hike from the bottom of the mountain to the top, you can experience different time frames of the leaves turning.

But with the right preparation and an adventurous mindset, these times can be just as rewarding. They offer advantages that happen only in those in-between times.

You could, like me, become a fan of between season hiking...

The enjoyment of Thanksgiving has not changed. But since 1776, there have been some striking changes in the details.

I love browsing in art galleries. Whether I'm looking for a gift a friend would love, or if I see something that calls to me in a way I never expected, our Adirondack combination of art and nature is always a pleasing sight.
