The Saranac Lake 6er Challenge was developed with the purpose to introduce more people to this specific area of the Adirondack Park and to enjoy these great hiking trails in the Saranac Lake region. The six range from a quick climb right in the village to one of the longer days you'll find outside the High Peaks.
