The Hawk

Well sounds like we just missed you Jer, we meant several groups doing a similar route to yours but none had wings. We must go back again, so much more to see and do. Ditto on the heat at 101F, brutal, even our white helmets seemed like ovens! Maybe catch you next time.

Well just thought I would post some feedback. We had an awsome time to Lake Placid. There is not a bad road in that area, everyone has scenary and is pretty. Went to Rome N.Y via I90 and then into the hills via Moose lake Road to 28 and then to Lake Placid. 28 is the best and although somewhat busy on the weekend, every turn is something pretty to see. Stayed at Lake Placid Summitt Hotel, and contrary to the Tripadvisor comments it was a great stay. Renovations are almost done and they treated us well. Good discount for the group as they are trying to get their reputation back. $99/night. downtown and close to everything. White Face Mountain was the highlight and worth the money to drive up the moutain. Took Hunter 1500's advise and took the back roads from the base of the mountain back to Ontario. Wish we had more time to go ove to the Hudson River basin but definitely we will go back great destination. Thanks for everyone's comments.

Thanks guys for the feedback. You are not kidding on the hotel prices. We are coming up (north) from Utica and wondered about Moose River Road, othewise knows as Northwood Lake Placid Trail. Anyone know if this is a safe and route/detour to take on the way to Lake Placid?

I am planning a trip from Ontario to Lake Placid, New York for July 14-17th. Can anyone suggest any scenic/twisty routes while there or things to do and see. As well looking for recommendations on hotels to stay at in the area. Thanks for your thoughts.
