Go Showshoeing and to a Country Store in the Adirondacks

Newcomb, New York is home to the Adirondack Interpretive Center

which offers educational programs and miles of nature trails in the heart of Atterondack Park

Dave Olbert of Cloud Splitter Outfitters, who guides travelers on hiking, biking, and rafting adventures

is taking me snowshoeing. Are we going to go down there? It's a lot of snow

We got a bunch of snow overnight the night before, and nobody's been out so we get to break trail

That'll be awesome. You're going to have to lead me on this one. I'll be glad to do that because I will

Get the snoring. I'll check out a little bit for you at first. This is wild

That's a good base underneath, though. Oh, okay, not so bad. Yeah. That's why these snow shoes come in handy here

We're really off-roading today. In New York, South Carolina. There are over 2,000 miles of hiking trails to discover, meaning if you want to cover some ground or head into the backcountry, snow shoes are key

So Dave, did you grow up here? I did, yeah, I actually grew up in the Upper Works

It's that little abandoned village I was talking about before, where Teddy Roosevelt was, would say when he was hiking

Teddy Roosevelt loved the great outdoors and frequent at the Adirondack. In fact while hiking on the shores of Lake Tear of the Crowd Roosevelt would learn that President William McKinley was in grave condition following being shot Roosevelt would later realize he soon be taking the helm as the 26th President of the United States on that same trip

I'm glad you took me to this spot. This is where snowshoeing to this beautiful lake
