Peaked Mountain Trail

A moderate ascent through varied Adirondack woodlands, this five-and-a-half-kilometer route is reported to offer a quieter alternative to more heavily traveled peaks in the region. The trail climbs steadily toward the summit, where hikers often find expansive views as reward for the effort. Those seeking solitude amid the forest will appreciate what is said to be a less-trafficked path that nonetheless delivers the characteristic beauty of these mountains.
