In 1892,  New York State, in its wisdom, established the governing body called the 'Adirondack Park Agency' (APA) to oversee and protect our nation's natural resources.   APA referred to this region as the "Blue Line."   The Adirondack Park is the largest protective landscape east of the Mississippi and larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier, Grand Canyon and the Great Smokies combined!   The Adirondack Park is one of the oldest models of co-existence between human settlements and wilderness protection.  The Park has the largest intact temperate forest in the world and growing 1 foot every 100 years.  The High Peaks region became world renown for the treatment of tuberculosis; and for good reason ... the mountain air!   Did you know that Albert Einstein revered his Saranac Lake seasonal residence at Knollwood.   He, too, must of know about our mountain air.
