Chimney Mountain

Chimney Mountain rises to 2,641 feet in the southern Adirondacks, known for the open cave at its summit where the "chimney" roof collapsed decades ago. The 3.6-mile round-trip from Kings Flow Road is short but steep — the cave opening and ledge views are the draw.

Nearby waters include Puffer Pond and Kings Flow.
