Of all the gorgeous places in the world, one Upstate New York village has been named the very most beautiful winter wonderland of them all.

Since the pandemic, it seems more and more people are hiking the Adirondacks. There are cars parked on the sides of roads and a ton of foot traffic. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has teamed up with Essex County, and the Town of Keene to run a new shuttle system that will take hikers to the base of the Adirondack High Peaks.

State and local agencies came up with a parking registration program that will prevent parked cars from clogging the trailheads for popular hikes like Indian Head and and Rainbow Falls.
