A notable ascent within the Lake Champlain-Lake George network, this five-and-a-half-kilometer trail climbs through mixed forest to what is reported to be one of the finer summits in the eastern Adirondacks. Managed by the NYSDEC, the route is characterized by steady elevation gain and, in its upper reaches, occasional rock scrambles that give way to open ledges. From the summit, hikers often find expansive views across Pharaoh Lake Wilderness and the peaks that frame it—a panorama that, on clear days, is said to extend well into Vermont.
