Hiking
the Best of the Adirondacks
Baxter Mountain
Jim
Grant - expert contributing writer
When
I think of the best time of the year to hike in the Adirondacks,
I recall the words of a forest ranger I'd met at Adirondack
Loj headquarters at Heart Lake, "You just can't beat
being in these peaks in the fall. The bugs are gone, the
air is cool, and the color of the leaves, well, they'll
make you stop what you're doing and make you think you'd
gone to heaven."
I was
in the mood for a little bit of heaven last Friday. As it
was just the first week of September, the weather was still
warm. In fact, today's high called for a record 90°
with the potential for afternoon thunderstorms. But a glance
out of my cabin window to the top of a century-old maple
revealed the first scarlet hues of fall.

Fall
foliage here is kind of like watching a puppy grow up. It
happens quickly, and if you don't pause now and then to
enjoy it you'll miss it.
Another
tip on hiking in the area is that you don't have to climb
one of the legendary 46 Peaks to get a great view. In fact,
there are a dozen or so smaller mountains that offer a rewarding
wilderness experience, and that are ideal for families looking
for a short hike.
One
of my favorites is Baxter Mountain overlooking the village
of Keene Valley. The most popular trail, which is just over
a mile in length for this the 2,440' peak, begins off of
Route 9 and on Spruce Hill. The sign's a little faded, but
keep your eyes peeled on the right hand side of the road.
If you come to the Baxter Mountain Tavern on the left you've
just missed the start of the trail.
The
land here is privately owned, but remains open to all except
hunters, fishermen and campers. Just off the highway the
trail begins through a field of purple Aster, Golden Rod
and daisies, sure signs that fall is on the way, and continues
into a forest of pines that provide welcome shade. click

Adirondack
Chairs, Log homes & Log Furniture
The
Adirondack Chair is one of the most popular outdoor chairs
in the United States. The chair incorporates design ideas
used for many decades;featuring a rounded back and contoured
seat & wide arms. Adirondack chairs are comfortable
because the chair back inclines 30 degrees and is curved
to fit your back giving excellent lower back support. Its
deep, angled seat and broad arm rests, make the perfect
place for a plate of food & drink.
The
idea of behind rustic furniture was to create interesting pieces
using natural materials such as twigs and logs that would blend
into a decor and not stand out . Rustic furniture makers today
follow the age old tradition of using natural materials to create
spectacular furniture and rustic decor pieces. Rustic furniture
usually has no set line or angles. Each piece is individually
crafted .
Once you have a log home with rustic elements you will want to
continue that element with the furniture and decorations.
Finding beautiful log furniture, stairs and railings, and other
pieces that will complement your beautiful log home is easier
than you might think. Log furniture is naturally beautiful. You
can see all of the character and wood grain of the logs used in
every piece of wood furniture. Log furniture made with timbers,
twigs and branches brings nature right into your home or cabin.
From custom crafted twig furniture, stairs and railings to antler
chandeliers, your unique rustic look is just a few clicks away.

Adirondack
History & its Museums
The
history of the Adirondacks has been shaped and influenced by many
powerful forces. Logging, mining, farming, tourism and even medicine
have all played a major role in the development of the region. In
the early 1800's, towns like St. Regis, Paul Smiths and Old Forge
sprang up taking advantage of the vast timber resources and iron
ore deposits. In the central Adirondacks, pioneers cleared the large
tracts of land for farming creating the first settlements. And beginning
in the late nineteenth century, the Adirondacks became a popular
destination for the rich and famous. Known as the "Gilded Age",
this period is famous for the construction of huge rustic compounds
called Great Camps. We invite you to learn more about the history
of the Adirondacks by visiting the many museums and historic sites.

You Have The Talent, We Have The Resources!
Are
you an author looking to publish your masterpiece? BookPublishers.com
could connect talented writers like you with willing book publishers.
For many talented authors, the most difficult obstacle isn’t
writer’s block—it’s finding a receptive publisher
to publish their books. Because publishers have to sift through
so many works, they may dismiss some unfairly, or be so short-staffed
that they don’t have the time to give each manuscript its
fair consideration.

a writer can maintain editorial control, as well as keep all proceeds
from the book sales. Whatever your preference, BookPublishers.com
wants to help you on your journey to become a published author!

New York since he moved to the region in 1973 to live in his parents'
summer home. Carl Heilman II has been photographing the Adirondack
wilderness landscape since 1975, working to capture on film both
the grandeur of these special places, and the emotional and spiritual
connection he has felt as well.

Carl Heilman's passion for spending as much time
as possible in some of the wildest regions of the Adirondack Park,
soon became a life-long quest to create images that record the
essence of a true wilderness experience. Today Carl is a full
time professional nature photographer.His photographs and panoramas
are also available as posters, murals, and special edition prints.
His selection of Adirondack posters includes a pair of panoramic
posters that show the full 360° view from the summit of Mt. Marcy,
and a panoramic image of the spectacular fall foliage and the
High Peaks from Mt. Van Hoevenberg. Each winter, as a NYS licensed
guide, he leads backcountry snowshoeing workshops at the Mountainfest
in Keene Valley, and has lead them for the Adirondack Mountain
Club at the Adirondak Loj near Lake Placid,
