Dozen Apples, New York, NY

The Dozen Apples tour is one of the best ways to maximize your sightseeing in New York City. The six-plus hour tour guides visitors to 12 famous hotspots via walking and public transportation.

The Wild Center, Tupper Lake, NY

The Adirondacks region has an answer to New York City’s High Line, and it’s wild.  Walk just above the tree line on The Wild Walk while observing the majestic mountain scenery and learning about the local ecosystem.

When we visited the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, we had to take a walk along the Wild Walk. It's not just a walk outside but an outdoor museum. Tons of fun and museum staff outside to give you more information on what you see. #wildcenter #tupperlake #wildwalk #nature #museum #lakeplacid #getaway
