Whiteface & the Adirondacks

Autumn Guide ↗ put the peak at Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway around October 6. That day has gone, so the newest pictures below are the truer guide to what is left on the trees.

Photographs of Whiteface & the Adirondacks and the country around it, newest first, with cameras around the place and beyond. Each is shown with the day it was taken.
