Donaldson Mountain rises to 4,062 feet in the Seward Range, typically climbed as part of a long loop with Emmons and Seward. The summit is wooded with limited views, but the route from the Calkins Brook trailhead covers rough, unmarked terrain — count on a full day and solid navigation skills.
At 4,062 ft, Donaldson Mountain clears 4,000 feet — an Adirondack High Peak by elevation, though not one of the official 46. Nearby waters include Seward Brook.
