Dramatic mountain crags fall away to reveal forest-flanked lakes in the Lake Placid Region, a stretch of the Adirondacks known for the easy access it affords to year-round outdoor activities.
If you exit Dotsero at I-70 and go 1.5 miles north on the Colorado River Road, this is where you'll end up. The gravel-top Coffee Pot Road is the main access to the Flattops Wilderness Area and connects to Transfer Trail near Deep Lake. It is a snowmobile route in winter. It's also certainly too long for a day hike, but if a leisurely backpacking trip through the woods is on your itinerary, this is a good choice.
