Happy 4th of July weekend! While it’ll be a little different this year, we’re excited to make the most of it and hope you are too. We’ve got big plans for blueberry pie, drinks on the back porch, and maybe hanging out in the closet with our dog while he panics about the fireworks ;) Other than that, here’s what looks good:
Around Town: West Mountain opens for the summer this weekend! The aerial adventure park, mountain biking, and hiking sound like a blast, but the scenic chairlift ride and picnic package sound awfully nice on this hot day. Get the scoop here!
Back Roads: It’s blueberry picking season! We were psyched to see that Winney’s Blueberry Farm in Schuylerville is opening for the season this Saturday and we can smell the blueberry pie already. Grab their details here and stay tuned for a roundup of berry farms to visit within the next week or so - happy picking!
At the Lake: As with most events this year, the Lake George Land Conservancy’s Hike-A-Thon has decided to go virtual. Here’s the gist: get out for a hike on Sunday, July 5 - whether in your neighborhood or your favorite mountain trail - and share a photo on social with the hashtag #LGHikeAThon2020 and #HikeLakeGeorge. Check out this list of LGLC’s parks and preserves for some great hike ideas - happy trails!
In the Mountains: Have you ever hiked in to Camp Santanoni up in the Adirondacks? It’s one of the surviving Great Camps on the shore of Newcomb Lake and it is a beauty. It’s about a five mile walk along a carriage road from the parking lot to the Main Lodge on the lake, and this Sunday they’ll be offering special tours focused on the staff that made Santanoni a fabulous retreat back in the day - details here.
Enjoy the weekend and Happy 4th!

Whether you live in our region year-round or seasonally, or visit on vacation or for business, the Emergency Department is here for every one of us, any day, any time, we might need it. Now, the Emergency Department needs our help.
As a not-for-profit, community hospital, Glens Falls Hospital is committed to providing care to everyone who seeks it, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2022, the Hospital provided nearly $6.5 million in charity care. In addition, the health insurance payments the Hospital receives for most patients do not cover the cost of care, nor allow for major investments like the new Emergency Department project without community support.
