(May 21, 2020) The Adirondacks are showing hopeful signs of spring, even summer these last few days. The air is warming up, the wildflowers are blooming and the birds are back in action.

Emily Russell and Monica Sandreczki hiked up Bear Mountain overlooking Cranberry Lake in the northern Adirondacks. The two drove separately to the trailhead and kept a safe distance between them during their hike.
