The Adirondack region was listed as number 21 on a list of “The 46 Places to Go in 2013” in a recent article published in the New York Times.
In the article published on January 11, the Adirondacks was listed among only seven destinations highlighted in the United States.
The Adirondacks was in the company of U.S. locations: Houston, TX (7); the White Salmon River in Washington state (13); the Big Island in Hawaii (16); Puerto Rico (29); Jackson Hole, WY (32); and Washington, DC (44).
Rio de Janeiro topped the entire list of desirable destinations world-wide.
The section of text on the Adirondacks was written by frequent New York Times contributor Lionel Beehner who stated:
“This pocket of upstate New York wilderness is increasingly drawing a downstate crowd. Backwoods New York is about to get more glam.”
He cited locations such as Camp Orenda, a luxury “glamping” (glamorous-camping) site that opened last year in Johnsburg, a quick drive from North Creek and the Gore Mountain Ski Area.
Beehner also mentioned the Saratoga and North Creek Railway as a means of traveling to the region.
“To get there, hop on one of the vintage trains that recently began running between Saratoga Springs and North Creek, which include fresh-to-order dining in domed rail cars,” he wrote.
The article, in its entirety, can be found online on The New York Times website.
