Today we took a ride to climb a mountain we have not climbed before. We hiked Floodwood Mountain which is the mountain we could see from our campsite. The hike was about two miles each way and was surprisingly steep for the last half mile. At the summit we were rewarded with great views of Saranac Lake and the High Peaks region. 
Having lunch on the top of a mountain with great views and nobody else around for miles is an amazing experience. On the way back from the hike we came across a buck that was feeding on the side of the trail. We watched the deer for a while and then went on our way.

After the hike we took a drive to the fish hatchery where they raise the atlantic salmon for release aound New York State. The hatchery was nice and feeding the salmon was very cool. 
On the way back to the campground we stopped along the road and were rewarded with great views of distant mountains and a loon swimming near shore. 
After dinner we fished again but were more focused on the wildlife and the scenery. We witnessed a beaver cutting down trees and saw some more loons.
