The Olympic Scenic Byway through the northwest section of New York's Adirondack Mountains is the very definition of a woodsy drive, boasting thickly forested hills. Saranac Lake’s health resorts and spas take advantage of the natural surroundings to enhance their clients’ well-being and rejuvenation. So hop in your car and take in the views, keeping in mind that there are few places to stop along the way.

SR 3 passes through forests of balsam fir, beech, red and sugar maples, and white pine. Colors vary according to the season, from soft spring greens that deepen in brilliance during summer to cozy autumn hues like amber and copper. Winter’s sparkling white scenery is picture-postcard lovely, but definitely check weather and road conditions before setting out.
