(North of Lake George, Lake Placid region)
Looking for a more challenging hike?
For those travelers looking for the extreme hike experience… burning calves, sore lungs, pounding heart… then the High Peaks may be more your speed.
Upstate New York’s Adirondacks are home to 46 (give or take) “High Peaks” that make up a cherished and historic list defined by a magical line at 4,000 feet. What these rugged summits lack in elevation, they more than make up for in vertical gain (matching if not exceeding many of their western day hike counterparts), trail toughness, and downright beauty as they tower over some of the densest and most stunning backcountry on the continent. From rocky alpine summits to trail-less bushwhacks, here are the 10 all-around best 46ers in the Adirondacks.
