With an impressive 3,430 vertical feet, some say Whiteface is the only ski resort in the East that could have hosted the winter Olympics. When it comes to getaways, these Lake Placid-Adirondack, New York, vacation rentals win the gold medals.
During the rest of the year, Lake Placid and the Adirondacks remain a top destination. Hikers flock to Mount Marcy (elev. 5,344), the highest point in the state. Fall foliage pilgrims tour the scenic highways of the Adirondack Park, the largest state-owned tract of land in the nation. Lakes, towns and vacation rentals dot the land, with Lake Placid being one of the most well known attractions.
