Sleeping Beauty Trail

A moderate ascent of roughly three kilometers marked by blue discs, this trail climbs to a rocky summit that is reported to offer sweeping views over the southern Lake George basin and the eastern High Peaks. The route gains elevation steadily through mixed forest, emerging onto open ledges where the panorama—when weather permits—extends across water and mountain alike. Though popular with families and day hikers, the trail retains a quiet character, its modest length rewarding walkers with a sense of accomplishment disproportionate to the effort required.
