New York: Lake Placid

Lake Placid was home to the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics (Cold War drama unfolded here in 1980 as the “miracle” U.S. hockey team upset the heavily favored Soviets), and the ski jump near Whiteface Mountain (Rte. 86; 518/946-2223) is still open for visitors. The area’s most panoramic views can be found at the top of the ski lifts. Just around the corner is High Falls Gorge (entrance fee $10), where bridges crisscross a clear, cold stream of water that flows through jagged rocks. Back in town, Mirror Lake Boat Rental (rentals from $24) has everything you need to explore the lake, from paddleboats and kayaks to hydro bikes.
