South Dix.
South Dix stands at 4,075 feet in the Dix Range — a non-trailable summit reached by bushwhack from the Dix Trail or Noonmark via Beckhorn. The herd path is rough and the views limited, but it closes out the 46 for climbers who need it.
At 4,075 ft, South Dix clears 4,000 feet — an Adirondack High Peak by elevation, though not one of the official 46. Nearby waters include Lillian Brook and Slide Brook.
