Shanty Cliffs path

This short 0.6-mile path climbs to a clifftop overlook in the southern Adirondacks, offering views from a modest perch above the surrounding forest. The route is brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher but gains elevation quickly on the way up. Expect a well-worn footpath that's manageable in under an hour round-trip.
