Outlined Here for
Tourists.

The large and small hotels and camps
were all opened by July 1. To reach the
Adirondacks from New York city both
sides of the Hudson River can be taken
on hard surfaced road, which Is all In
good condition and without detours as
far as Albany.
From lower Connecticut II Is advisable
to take the Naugatuck Valley to Great
Darlington, thence running throngh
Hillsdale to Hudson, connecting with
the Albany post road. From Boston
very good way to reach the Adirondaeks
Is to run to Worcester md Springfield
and over Jacobs Ladder to Williams
town, there running north through Man
chester and Rutland to Burlington, en-
ter,ng the Adirondacks from the north.

the southeast is at Albany, Troy and
Schenectady. From Albany good hard
surfaced road Is found running due
north through Lathans, Waterford and
INTERCHANGEABLE to Saratoga, and also
good connection from Troy to Water
ford. The route via Schenectady Is not
advisable at the present time. as the
road is closed between Schenectady and
Balston Spa and the detour provided Is
rather POOR
From Saratoga to Lake George there
are two hard surfaced roads, one being
via Lake Luzerne and the other via
Glens Falls. The Luzernee route is very
beautiful and about the same distance
as the Glens Falls route, except that 1t
is more hilly and has many bad curves.
The Glens Falls route Is the more direct
route.

may leave the car in the garage and
take the boat which leaves at 8 80 A. NJ.

made on the east side, arriving at Lake
George at about S 80 P. NJ. There Is a
good motor road from Lake George to
Bolton Landing. but from there on It Is
impossible. A great many motorists
place their cars on board the boat at
Bolton Landing and take them of again
