A rugged connector in the High Peaks region, this trail runs just over two and a half kilometers under NYSDEC management, marked by red disks that guide hikers through demanding terrain. The path is known to link into the broader network of routes that serve the Wolf Jaws massif, where steep grades and exposed ledges test even experienced mountain travelers. Those who venture here find themselves amid some of the Adirondacks' most austere wilderness, where the work of ascent is repaid in solitude and the stark beauty of subalpine forest.
Wolf Jaw Trail runs 1.6 miles (2.6 km) — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 50 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
