One of my favorite places!
If you have time go to The Cottage for lunch or happy hour. It sits right on Mirror Lake adjacent to Mirror Lake Inn.

Hope you enjoyed your stay! Beautiful area with much to see and do.

In fact, we just arrived today in the Adirondacks after having spent almost a week in Florida. We’ll be spending some time with family in Lake Placid.

Here’s a pic of Whiteface today as seen from near Wilmington on the drive to LP.

I highly recommend it! I’ll be coming back for more hikes without question but the drive up Whiteface is worth the price of admission alone.
