Here's a quote from Steve Jermanock that I use on my photo journal page, adds some persepctive...

"Atop Blue Mountain or any other peak in the Adirondacks, one easily senses the enormity of wilderness that defines the region. The Adirondacks is the largest park of any kind in the lower 48 states. It is larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Olympic National Parks combined. It is larger than the state of New Hampshire, larger than six other states. It’s six million acres contains more than 2,800 ponds and lakes, 1,500 miles of rivers. Indeed, ninety percent of all plants and animals that exist north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi River can be found somewhere in the Adirondacks."
