Mount Arab, Tupper Lake New York

This short hike leads to a fire tower at the top overlooking Tupper Lake. When I did this hike, the weather was dreary, rainy and windy at the top. Although not a highlight of my trip, I hope if you get there you have a better view! Sometimes when you’re outdoors, you just don’t get the most amazing view

Of course, on the way to the top and back I took some nature photos

Thank you to Mark’s Brantford for my outdoor gear! These Wind River boots have been my must-have for all my outdoor adventures especially in the rainy conditions

Sometimes the weather doesn’t give you the best conditions, but it’s important to remember your why when adventuring. My reasons for adventure are to notice the little mushrooms, the drops of rain on the leaves, the tangle of branches seen through the forest, fresh air and exercise.

Don’t let a physical rain cloud put a rain cloud over your whole view :)
