Dear Friends,
We invite you all to celebrate the success you have achieved via your hard work in the program ‘A year of Mindful Living.’ Climbing to reach the top of a mountain will be a tribute to all your hard work. Ethos is planning a special trip during peak fall foliage to the Adirondacks high peaks wilderness area, Oct 16 to 18, 2016.
We will be staying at historic Adirondack Loj on the shores of Heart Lake and plan to hike up to the summit of one of the high peaks on Oct 17, though attendees may participate in hikes of any level of difficulty. A hiking trip is reserved from Oct 16 to 18. Adirondack Loj can accommodate up to 38 guests.

A description of the Adirondack Loj from brochure: In 1890, Henry Van Hoevenberg opened the original Adirondack Lodge near Lake Placid, NY. From its location on the shore of Heart Lake, he built trails up the surrounding High Peaks; led, taught, and encouraged the earliest hikers; and told stories around the campfire. More than a hundred years later, you can still enjoy those same traditions of mountain hospitality, recreation, and education.
The Adirondack Loj has space for 38 guests in a combination of private rooms, family bunk rooms and a co-ed loft. All rooms are simple and rustic and have either a lake view or wooded view. All rooms share a common set of bathrooms
Meals at Adirondack Loj: If the Ethos group reserves all of the rooms for the dates mentioned above, we could have a custom meal prepared. Their chefs would be able to accommodate a dairy free, meat free menu with limited salt, oil, and no refined sugar. The standard price for family style dinner inside the Adirondack Loj is $19.50 per person (+tax and gratuity).
“Every mountain top is within reach
if you just keep climbing.” ― Barry Finlay
Similarly the health goals you set when you joined AYOML, is within your reach you just have to keep climbing till you get to them.
Please call and reserve your spot ASAP. Together we will celebrate the unique health care system which is possible because you gave Ethos Primary Care an opportunity to work with you.
Thank you.
