While there are plenty of marked trails around the area, a killer spot to visit for something a little different is High Falls Gorge. Glass bottom bridges showcase nature from a different perspective, allowing you to see the frozen Earth below your feet. There are four waterfalls to be discovered and groomed hiking trails make for the perfect place\u00a0to snowshoe.

However, the ride up may still be a little nerve-wracking. Chair lifts whisk you up above the snow-covered slopes to the top of the hill. Then, you ride an elevator up even higher to the very top of the jump to take in the view from the athletes&#8217; vantage point. The panorama shot you get of the Adriondacks all around you is pretty unbeatable. When you come down from the jump, be sure to hop onto the Olympic medal blocks and take a bow. Going that high up certainly earns you the gold!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>6)\u00a0Sip vino along the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_56882\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56882\" class=\"wp-image-56882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_7639-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheers! | Photo by Compass + Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Who says winery tours are just for the warmer months?
