The most accessible of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks at 4,098 feet, this 4.8-mile round-trip follows a ridgeline with three steep pitches between gradual sections. The bald summit rewards hikers with 360-degree views of the surrounding High Peaks. Arrive early, as the Route 73 trailhead fills quickly.
