Fresh snow and sunny skies ahead!
The Adirondack region has just experienced a spring snowstorm, generously blanketing the area with snow! As we transition back into this wintry scene, we want to ensure everyone is prepared for the conditions ahead.
Despite the snow on the ground, we're thrilled to announce that the SUN will be making a triumphant return, bringing clear skies for the eagerly awaited total solar eclipse on Monday. As we gear up to welcome you for this remarkable celestial event, here's what you need to know to make the most of your experience:
Bring Winter Gear
Pack appropriately for the conditions. Be sure to bring winter coats, boots, gloves, hats, and any other cold-weather gear to stay warm and comfortable during your eclipse viewing adventure.
Make a Plan
Plan your eclipse viewing location in advance, and don't forget to check designated parking areas. Have a backup plan ready for any potential traffic or weather-related issues.
Be Prepared
With an influx of visitors expected, it's crucial to be prepared. Keep extra layers, snacks, and water handy, and ensure your vehicle is fueled up before setting out. Stay informed about weather forecasts and road conditions, and be flexible with your travel route if needed.
Save the Mountains for Another Time
While the Adirondack mountains offer stunning vistas, they are not ideal for eclipse viewing due to unpredictable weather, risks of flooding due to high water, and spring trail conditions. Help preserve our trails by utilizing designated viewing spots and keeping the trails pristine for future enjoyment.
