Adirondack State Park is the largest park in the continental United States with 2,428, 114 hectares of mountains, forests, hills, valleys and lakes, and is larger than Yosemite or the entire state of Massachusetts.
Inside are some of the highest mountain peaks in the State of New York, such as Mount Marcy with 1629 meters high. These mountains, which are the ones that give the park its name, are among the oldest in the world, and are made up of rocks of millions of years, specifically from the Precambrian era. Ebenezer Emmons, a geologist from the 1830s, gave the mountains the name of a tribe of Indians who hunted in the area.
In 1882, the Legislature of the State of New York declared this region National Park although there were private properties which still remain. The aim was to legally protect wildlife in the region and avoid land being sold, rented or exchanged, nor occupied by private or state corporations.

Among the fauna inhabiting this region, we find mammals such as opossums, moles, beavers, squirrels, bears, raccoons, moose; reptiles and amphibians such as snakes, frogs and turtles; birds such as eagles, owls and other smaller birds; and all kinds of insects. Regarding the flora, this region is home to all kinds of trees, such as beech, pine, birch, maple, fir or elm, having some of these species leaves of other colors to standard, so in fall season, we can see a blanket of colors like red, yellow, brown or green.
Thus, besides the wildlife and forest landscapes, towns and villages, lakes and streams, we can also find a large and wide commercial and tourist attractions, museums, restaurants, hotels and craft shops.
