About This Trail

A 4.4-mile out-and-back from Keene Valley to a rocky crest at 2,788 feet with views of the Great Range and surrounding High Peaks. The trail climbs steadily through mixed forest before reaching exposed ledges near the summit. A rewarding shorter alternative to the longer High Peaks routes nearby.
