Why take the shuttle?
Why not? There are several reasons to take the shuttle and they're all fantastic.
- It's better for the environment! Fewer cars on the road means less pollution and better, cleaner air. That means better hiking and a healthier, happier experience for all.
- Skip the worry about parking. The Adirondacks are much adored and parking lots at trailheads can get crowded. This way, there's no worry!
- Save your money! By saving on gas, you can enjoy a less expensive day out.
- You can relax. When someone else does the driving, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.
