Shaping Up

THE AMERICAN Summer vacation was born not at the beach but in the mountains. In the late 19th century, elite families like the Carnegies, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts "vacated" their Manhattan homes in search of fresh air and cooler temperatures, building seasonal retreats called "Great Camps" in the Adirondack mountains, in northeastern New York. Today, the Adirondack Park-which has been protected as "forever wild" by the New York State Constitution since 1892-is the largest publicly preserved area in the Lower 48, covering 6 million acres. That's more than Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone National Parks combined.
