This 1.4-mile blue-marked trail climbs Potash Mountain, a modest summit in the southern Adirondacks near the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness boundary. The route gains elevation steadily through mixed hardwoods, topping out on ledges with views across the surrounding hill country. It's a short outing suitable for a morning or afternoon, often combined with nearby trails in the area.
