The long days of summer in Northwest Montana provide lots of time for golf. Nine championship courses (all within a 45 minute drive of each other) offer mature, well-groomed courses with a mix of bent-grass green, open links-style, tight forest-lined fairways, and challenging terrain by world-renowned golf architects.
Beyond the gorgeous fairways lies so much more for golfers and non-golfers alike. Activities such as scenic tours or the nearby Glacier National Park, fly-fishing, horseback riding, rafting, hiking, biking, gondola rides, boat tours, ballooning, museums, performing arts, spa treatments and more are there for you!

Autumn in the Adirondack Mountains Encore Symposium
Co-sponsored by the NYSANA
Lake George, located in the foothills of the Adirondacks, is approximately 32 miles long and is nearly 3 miles wide. Lake George takes on a German flavor in the fall, with Oktoberfest held at the Great Escape Fun Park, and Lake George Village. the village of Lake George offers the largest mix of attractions, restaurants, shops and nightlife. You can walk within a two-block radius and rent a boat, watch a war reenactment, relax on the beach, take a cruise, play miniature golf, hit the arcades, ride in a horse drawn carriage, have a cocktail overlooking the lake, or just relax on a bench and watch the world go by. The variety of sounds, images, and tastes are as varied as the people who flock to Lake George each year to enjoy a relaxed and fun-filled vacation.
The town of Bolton Landing, the hamlet of Diamond Point, and other communities
surrounding Lake George are both interesting and unique and have plenty
of activities to enjoy. Quaint little shops and restaurants line the streets
and a more relaxed atmosphere prevails. If photography is your interest,
there are plenty of beautiful scenic shots in the area, as well as a number
of good live action possibilities.

The Sagamore can easily be accessed by air from the Albany Airport; by
Amtrak to the Albany Station, or via Boston and Buffalo. To accommodate

Nature sets the stage in Lake George during the autumn months. The landscape
lights up with a Technicolor foliage display that never disappoints. The
mountains surrounding the lake blaze with flaming reds, oranges, and golds,
painting a vivid contrast against the clear blue autumn sky. This is a
glorious time for hiking, for taking a boat cruise on the lake, or just
car touring to take in the spectacular foliage. Sportsmen love the fall
too.
Average temperature for the Autumn can range in the mid to high 60's to
low 40's at night.
