A marked passage through the Adirondack backcountry, this trail extends roughly 3.3 kilometers under the stewardship of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Yellow disk blazes guide hikers along what is understood to be a historic approach route, threading through terrain that reflects the character of the Dix Range wilderness. The path offers a quieter alternative to more trafficked ascents in the region, though conditions and maintenance levels can vary with season and weather.
