On day 3 of our vacation we drove from Rochester to Lake Placid, NY (home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics). It was about a 3.5 hour drive. On the way, we stopped and hiked up Mt. Arab which is in the Adirondack Park. It was a nice 2 mile hike and there was a cool fire tower at the top of the mountain. After that, we checked into High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid which would serve as our home base for the next four nights. One of the nice features with this hotel is that they have a private beach on Mirror Lake (and four swimming pools) with kayaks and paddle boats available for guests to use whenever they would like. So we did a little kayaking after we checked in. After that, we enjoyed an Italian dinner Eres Pizza.
