Nippletop Mountain

Nippletop Mountain rises to 4,620 feet in the Dix Range, typically climbed via the 14.2-mile Elk Lake-Dix Trail or paired with Dial Mountain from the Adirondack Mountain Reserve. The name comes from its distinctive profile when viewed from Chapel Pond — a rounded summit that stands out against the ridgeline.
