A few weeks ago, my parents visited Lake Placid in the Adirondak’s of Upstate New York. The autumn leaves were at peak and their cabin at The Lake Placid Lodge was a cozy setting to relax and enjoy the crisp fall weather.

With the Travers Stakes this weekend, many will travel to Saratoga, a town lying in the foothills of the southern Adirondack Mountain region of upstate New York.
