"Shoeing up Mount Skylight, Adirondack resident and part-time guide Kevin Burns appreciates the power of place. 'I grew up in Albany, which now is busy as an ant farm,' he says, 'everybody racing for their piece of food.' But not here. 'When it snows,' he says, 'I smile.'"

—From "Adirondacks High," June 1998, National Geographic magazine
