TRIP DETAILS

FRIDAY

The adventure begins Friday morning as we drive to the Adirondacks (Upstate NY) together, and arrive late afternoon at the Wilderness Campground, Heart Lake (Adirondacks, NY), where we set up camp, enjoy a delicious fireside cookout (prepared by Beth and Kelley), roast marshmallows, and end the evening with a calming meditation to prepare for a restful night’s sleep amongst the trees and the stars.

SATURDAY

Saturday morning, we start our day early with a little light yoga to prepare for the hike ahead, followed by a light but nourishing breakfast fueling us for our exciting and beautiful full-day hike up Mt Marcy; New York State’s highest peak at 5,344ft, OR Mt Phelps, ranked the Adirondack Mountains 32nd highest peak at an elevation of 4,161ft.

Lunch and snacks will be enjoyed along the trail and at the summit, where we take in one of the most breathtaking and inspiring views of the Adirondack Mountain range.

The evening will end with games by the campfire, a delicious campsite dinner (prepared by Beth and Kelley), and another relaxing guided meditation, before drifting off to sleep at the end of an adventure and fun-filled day.

SUNDAY

Sunday morning, we begin our day bright and early before the sun is up, as we embark on a short but invigorating 1 hour hike up Mt Jo; one of the best views of the High Peaks region at only 2,876 feet. Once at the summit, we get to take in the morning rising sun coming up over the mountain tops that surround us.

Upon arriving back at the campground from the sunrise hike, we will enjoy a delicious campfire brunch (prepared by Beth and Kelley), followed by a fun afternoon and evening out exploring Lake Placid and dining at one of the town’s delicious restaurants.

MONDAY

Our final morning on Monday, will begin with gentle morning yoga stretching, a short grounding meditation, and a refreshing group swim in Heart Lake, followed by another light breakfast (prepared by Beth and Kelley) before we pack up our campsite and drive home to Ottawa.

**All hikes and activities are optional. This weekend would be equally enjoyable just exploring the beautiful area around the campground, swimming in Heart Lake, or lounging in the Adirondack chairs on the large LOJ porch.

What an amazing way to spend the weekend! I will forever cherish the memories I made and the inspiring women I met along the way. Nature, connection, and adventure, all things I love and crave! I am extremely grateful for the experience, and can’t wait to see what the next adventure brings!!
