How do I become a Tri-Lakes 3-6-9er?

The Adirondack region is rich with popular hiking and outdoor challenges. From the 46 High Peaks and the Fire Tower mountains, to the recently created ADK-9 and 50 Falls Challenges, there are endless adventures to be found.

The newest Adirondack hiking challenge is the Tri-Lakes TRIFECTA. Taking place in Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, and Lake Placid, the TRIFECTA takes hikers through three beautiful Adirondack villages. 

All hikers must summit 3 Tupper Lake peaks, 6 Saranac Lake peaks and 9 Lake Placid peaks in order to complete the challenge. All hikes are family and pet friendly, and all trails are marked and maintained.
