Etymology
Adirondacks comes from a Native American (Mohawk) word ha-de-ron-dah that means 'bark-eaters', a name the Mohawk used for people who sometimes had to eat tree bark in hard times. That's why the mountain area was given the name Adirondacks, and it helps you remember the wild, old forests there.
