Adirondack Park - New York

The Adirondack Park is a publicly-protected area located in northeast New York. It is the largest park in the contiguous United States, the largest National Historic Landmark, and the largest area protected by any U.S. state.
The park covers some 6.1 million acres (24,700 km²), a land area about the size of Vermont, or of the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined.
More than half the land within the Adirondack Park is privately owned, including several villages and hamlets.

New York is a great city one of its own kind in whole world.I visited it last time in October and was impressed with the hospitality and kindness.Every thing from Airport taxi to hotel tour guys all was good.Airport limo was fun to have in such a low price. I was amazed by the choices of transportation,like you could have a choper to go to downtown for few hundred dollars. All museums and downtown were full of fun loving people.New york is the place man,i would love to go their over and over.
