TRIP DETAILS

FRIDAY

The adventure begins Friday late morning as we take the 2.5 hour drive together from Ottawa, to the Adirondack Mountains (Upstate NY) and our high peaks region Wilderness Campground. After setting up camp, we enjoy a delicious fireside cookout, 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 before sunrise, packing and preparing for the full day’s hike up one of the most beautiful and epic hikes in the Adirondack High Peaks Region; Mt Marcy (ADK tallest peak at 5,343.1 feet), Algonquin Mt (ADK 2nd tallest peak at 5,114 feet), Wright Mt (ADK 16th tallest peak at 4,580 feet), or Phelps Mt (ADK 32nd tallest peak at 4,161 feet).

Breakfast will be eaten as we begin our hike, with lunch and snacks 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.

Our evening will end back at the campground with a refreshing dip in Heart Lake, relaxing by the campfire, and a delicious campsite dinner, ending the day with a relaxing fireside guided meditation, before drifting off to sleep at the end of an adventure and fun-filled day.

SUNDAY

Sunday morning, we enjoy a leisurely morning with a campfire breakfast as we prepare for our days excursion to spend the afternoon at one of the most beautiful mountain waterfalls (a hidden gem known to locals), in Upstate New York.
On the way to the waterfall, we will stop in the lovely high peaks mountain town of Keene, to visit the local farmers market, shops, grab a treat, coffee or tea, and look around.

Following our day of sightseeing and waterfall swimming, we will enjoy a delicious mountainside dinner at Baxter Mountain Tavern.

Our day of exploration ends back at the campsite for a bedtime campfire and gentle meditation, preparing us for our final morning in the mountains.
**Baxter Mountain Tavern dinner, is included in Adventure fee.

MONDAY

Our final morning on Monday, we begin our day bright and early 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 as we say a final goodbye to this breathtaking Adirondack mountain range.

Upon arriving back at the campground from the morning hike, we enjoy a delicious campfire brunch, as we pack up the campsite and prepare to go home. On our way back, a quick stop in the beautiful town of Lake Placid is an essential end to our trip, as we visit the local shops and stretch our legs before driving home.

*All hikes and activities are optional. This retreat adventure is equally enjoyed just being present for the camping, relaxing at the campsite & by the campfire, enjoying the mountain waterfall and towns, and sitting by Heart Lake or spending the day reading on the porch at the Adirondack Mountain Loj.

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!!
