Built on land that juts into Lake Champlain, the Mohawks called the land upon which the fort sits Ticonderoga, meaning a place between the great waters.
We toured the Trail Ridge Road, which allows us to climb over 4000’ as we journey to the sky on the longest and highest continuous paved highway in the world.
Hiking a new trail to some waterfalls and beyond, how high would we go? With a day this great, we expected to see many lovely views.
With rain showers looming, we spent the afternoon walking around Bear Lake while exploring with a field trip booklet I had purchased at the book shop.
We spread most of our time among a couple of hikes, visiting gorgeous waterfalls, taking the main road over the mountains, and taking in all the elk.
For miles we saw a patchwork quilt of tans and greens on the ground far, far below. Overcome by the view, we sang America, the Beautiful.
