Join host Julie "Jester" Gayheart as she shares her adventure in the Adirondacks. This episode covers a mix of hiking, being a tourist, and soaking in spectacular views and experiences from Lake Placid, New York - the heart of the High Peaks region. Learn about Jester's encounters with her Seek to Do More family, tourist attractions like the Olympic bobsled run and ski jumps, and top hiking trails from the Lake Placid 9'er. Jester also reveals local eateries and personal insights on the hiking challenges encountered. Don't miss the detailed exploration of the people, places, and peaks that made this trip unforgettable.

We arrived in the Adirondack Park on the evening of July 4, 2024 thru July 15, 2024. I highly recommend the Drapers Acres Campground! So AWESOME!
