Golden Stair Mountain rises to 2,405 feet in the northern Adirondacks, named for the steep, rocky ascent that characterizes its southern approach. No maintained trail reaches the summit — bushwhackers use compass bearings from nearby roads or trace old logging routes.
Nearby waters include Second Lake and Chambers Lake.

Sunrise on the dock, a cairn at the summit, a bend on the trail. Your camera roll, our archive.
Add a photo →Trail conditions, water level, bug pressure, blowdown. The kind of detail that helps the next person plan.
Write a field note →Wrong elevation, outdated access notes, a coordinate that's drifted. We'd rather hear it than miss it.
