CATAMOUNT MOUNTAIN – Elevation 3,173′ (967 m)
One of the classic, shorter hikes in the Adirondack High Peaks region. The last mile includes scrambles over steep, bare rock that rewards with amazing views of Ester and Whiteface mountains.
CASCADE MOUNTAIN – Elevation 4,098′ (1,249 m)
This famous peak south of Lake Placid offers killer 360-degree views of the High Peaks Region. As an added bonus, you'll get to summit Porter Mountain.
This trail starts out mellow, but the final climb to the open rock ledge is a real leg-burner; it's steep! From the summit, follow the trail to the north east for a mellower return to complete this lollipop loop.Â
The climb up Algonquin Peak (#2 on the 46'er list) in the MacIntyre Range is considered one of the more beautiful climbs in the High Peaks Region. And because you're here, you can also bag Wright and Iroquois Peaks.Â
This climb takes you to the highest point in the state of New York, with views over the High Peaks Region, the Green Mountains in Vermont, and Mont Royal in Montreal. This is a long, challenging peak and a worthy finish to the challenge.Â
