Erebus Herd Path is a 0.2-mile unmarked route to the summit of Mount Erebus, one of the Adirondack 100 Highest. Short but steep, requiring off-trail navigation skills — not maintained by the state.
Erebus Herd Path runs 0.3 miles (0.4 km) with about 282 feet of elevation gain — a moderate hike, with a steep, sustained climb, about 15 minutes on the trail. It is an informal, lightly marked path — carry a map and GPS.
