Avalanche Lake is a skinny, 9-acre mountain lake in the Adirondack High Peaks of New York. Sitting at an elevation of 2,885 feet, it lies between the between the towering cliffs of Mount Colden (4,714 feet) and Avalanche Mountain (3,816 feet). The sight of Avalanche Lake, surrounded by vertical rock walls, offers one of the most picturesque views in the region. The challenging trail to Avalanche Lake from Adirondak Loj involves navigating through Avalanche Pass, clambering over boulders, and crossing wooden catwalks bolted into the cliffs - a section known as the "Hitch-Up Matilda." The trail continues south, connecting to Lake Colden within the Hudson River watershed.

Whiteface Mountain is actually amazing. At the end of the Memorial Highway there is a car park, restaurant and a gift shop, there is even a granite built castle. When you get there you will need to find somewhere to park and lock your bike. Then if you have the time why not go up to the actual summit. You can either do it quickly in the elevator (yes there is one) or you have the option to walk the hand-railed Nature Trail, both options are good. Failing that you could just have a good break here at the summit parking area and just enjoy the glorious vistas.

You're standing right next to the waterfall - the little detour is definitely worth it! However, the path back on this side of the river was very little used and heavily populated by mosquitoes, so the other side (via the gravel road) is more recommended.

The real highlight of the tour. You can get to the front stone via the left edge of the upper stone and through some bushes - here the view (and the photos) are even more impressive.

You can reach the summit via the Short Trail or Long Trail. We recommend taking the short trail up - there are a lot of rocks to climb here.

Mount Marcy is the highest mountain in the Adirondacks! From the summit, you can see most of the High Peaks.

The waterfall gets its name from the rainbow that often appears when the sun hits the cliff. It's beautiful!
