Coney Mountain Trail

A short climb to an open summit, this trail covers just over a kilometer and a half and is often chosen by hikers who want expansive views without committing to a longer day. The bald peak is reported to offer wide prospects across the surrounding Adirondack landscape, rewarding the modest effort with vistas that extend well beyond what the brief distance might suggest. Though the ascent is relatively gentle, the openness of the summit and the quality of the views give the route a character that belies its brevity.
