Grace Peak Trail

Unmarked and extending just under a mile and a half, this route to Grace Peak demands careful navigation and rewards those comfortable traveling without blazes. The trail climbs through typical Adirondack forest, offering a quieter experience than more heavily signed paths in the region. Hikers should be prepared with map and compass, as the absence of markers makes this better suited to those with backcountry experience than to casual walkers seeking a marked destination.
