This was taken on a class hike on a beautiful, clear day from the peak of Azure. The hike is roughly two miles total to a summit height elevation of 2,518 feet, overlooking the Adirondak's forest and many other high peaks and ski locations. All of the valleys and ridges below we're created by shifting rock thousands of years ago.From the fire tower (which was originally built back in 1918 and restored multiple times since) one can overlook the St. Regis river. I thought this image captured the vastness of the Adirondaks and highlighted the fact that much of the land below has been preserved, or left "natural."
