Adirondack High

Images of America’s First Wilderness

Photographs by Hardie Truesdale. Text & detailed driving directions to all sites by Joanne Michaels. Introduction by Elizabeth Folwell

A celebration of America’s first wilderness, the Adirondack Park, created in 1892 out of a patchwork of public and private lands. Roughly the size of the state of Vermont, the park has neither an entrance gate nor an admission fee, and contains six million acres seamed with more than 2000 miles of trails—the nation’s largest trail system. There are thousands of lakes, 1800 miles of rivers, the High Peaks (46 mountains more than 4000 feet high), countless trees, and rare vegetation that thrive under adverse conditions. Hardie Truesdale has brought together some of the places that make the Adirondacks so spectacular. His commitment, patience, and, ultimately, his vision are unique. The images are not just beautiful, they capture the spirit of the Adirondacks.
