Lake Placid, NY - For the urbanite commuting home after a long, hot week of  bumper-to-bumper traffic, steamy subways and noisy cab rides; getting out of town can seem like the best idea of the summer.

What you need is the cool shade of an Adirondack forest, the tranquility of a rippling mountain lake, a peace that isn’t found dodging joggers in the park.

And you need your quick-fix getaway to be cheap - like recessionary economy cheap. So borrow or dust off that tent from the college back-packing days, fill up a tank and head due north. Don’t stop until you see the “Entering the Adirondack Park” sign. Here is where your weekend starts.

For a few bucks, you can camp, hike and eat your way through your own slice of this six-million-acre wilderness and still get home in time to iron Monday’s pants.

If camping isn’t your thing, most Adirondack destinations offer some amazing package deals:
