My name is Brendan Bette and I have lived in the Adirondack Park all of my life. I was born in Glens Falls, NY and I have had the privilege of living on the south east shore of Lake George. I spend most of my time in the summer out in my boat exploring the amazing 32 mile long lake.

Through this blog, I will try to guide you through the amazing place that is the Adirondack Park. To me, the Adirondack Park is much more than a whole lot of mountains and lakes in upstate New York. The park is where I have spent my entire life. I have climbed it's mountains, swam in its lakes, traveled to its small towns, and camped in its forests.
I have spent the better part of my teenage life living in Lake Placid, A medium sized town in the north east of the park predominately known for hosting the Winter Olympics of 1980. I started skiing when I was only three years old and I have relied on Gore and Whiteface, New York state's largest ski resorts, to perfect the sport. When I was 9 years old, I got pretty heavily into Ski Racing and traveled out west to Colorado to compete in Nationals and I came back with a bronze medal in giant slalom.
Enough about me, let's get into exploring the Adirondack Park.
Here are some educational websites that will teach you a bit more about the Park as a whole.
