Greetings,

There's something about late July in the Adirondacks. The frantic excitement of summer's arrival has settled into a comfortable rhythm—morning coffee on the porch, long evenings by the water, and a growing suspicion that the season is moving just a bit faster than we'd like.

The best of the Adirondacks, handpicked every week.

This summer has been full of contradictions. One week, we're searching for shade and wondering if we'll ever cool down; the next, we're reaching for a sweatshirt after sunset. Somehow, this is part of the season's charm.

This week, we’re embracing the experiences that make Adirondack summers memorable. Join us for a conversation with the organizers of Glens Falls' inaugural Plein Air Festival, where artists will capture fleeting moments throughout the region.

Next, head to Ticonderoga for StreetFest or step back in time during the upcoming Durant Days, one of the Adirondacks' most cherished celebrations of history and culture.

Whether you’re planning a weekend adventure or simply enjoying a quiet morning with this newsletter and a second cup of coffee, we’re glad you’re here.

Summer isn't over—not by a long shot—but it's important to savor every moment.

See you out there,

Jane
