Northville
Lake Placid Trail .com is the premier online guide to hiking and climbing the
Northville Placid Trail and the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks showcasing
hundreds of exciting attractions throughout the
Olympic region and upstate New York. Keene and Keene Valley are known as the "Home
to the High Peaks". The
greatest number of high peaks in the Adirondacks (in a single location) rise majestically
in the Keene/Keene Valley Region making this area a meca for hikers, climbers
and other visitors who wish to experience the remarkable beauty
of
the Adirondack mountains.
There are literally hundreds of trail heads located
in the tiny hamlet of Keene including the trail to the summit of Mt. Marcy, the
highest mountain in New York State.
 The
Adirondacks offer some of the best hiking, camping and recreation opportunities
in the northeastern United States. The hills are big; it is known as the High
Peaks region, Mt. Marcy reaches 5,344 ft, Algonquin is 5,114 ft, and there are
more than 40 peaks over 4000 ft tall so the hiking can be challenging but the
views that you get while ascending, and while standing on the summits are well
worth the effort.

The beginning of the Northville-Placid
Trail follows the highway from Northville to Benson Center and impatient hikers
may want to drive to Benson Center. However, the scenery along the Stony Creek
Valley is well worth the walk. No high mountains are encountered in this section,
but the forests are as wild as any found on the trail. Miles

Select Adirondack Hikes and Trail Descriptions
The Algonquin tour
An introduction
the many landscapes of mountains, brooks and lakes of the Adirondack. The best
way to discover the second highest summit of the Adirondack with a trip to some
remote areas. The whole hike is a loop of 19 km. This may look very long but its
all downhill after the summit of Algonquin. All the beautiful nature scenes make
this one a must to do for a hiker with an average experience.
Mount
Marcy:
This
is the highest mountain in the Adirondack with 5344 feet. Marcy is located in
the middle of the High Peaks Region. This mountain must be seen from a very close
location to be able to admire its beauty. Three of the major accesses to the Adirondack
region make possible a day hike to it. The shortest approach start at Heart Lake
and follows in and out the Van Hoevenberg Trail. This is a 23,75 km hike that
takes an average of 7˝ hours. The easiest way to shorten this distance is to camp
at Marcy Dam. This will cut 7,3 km to the distance. Marcy Dam is a rustic camping
area. It takes an hour of walk to get there from Heart Lake.
Gothics
Gothics, the 10th highest peak,
has an impressive 360° view. This proposed hike is less popular than the one
starting from The Garden, but it has a lot of things to see as: many viewpoints
of the Gothics Arch, an impressive ascent to the Pyramid summit on your way down
and a passage near two of the highest waterfalls in the Adirondack. The whole
hike is a loop of 21 km. The only drawback is the long and doll Lake Road you
will walk on your way in and out.
 Colden
Colden is located between Marcy and Algonquin. It offers a 360° summit view
and a long open ridge. This trip is an other way to visit the great area of Avalanche
Pass. The whole hike is a loop of 21 km.
Phelps
A small summit from the list of those over 4,000 feet but its half open summit
has one of the best views in the Adirondack. Over 10 km of the trail is on flat
or low grade ground. The whole hike is 14 km long.
Noonmark
An open summit that is just under the 4,000 feet level, very similar to Cascade.
It has a better viewpoint toward many of the highest peaks than Cascade. If you're
looking for a longer trail, it's possible to make a loop and even add Round Mountain
on your way. The shortest hike has a total of 6.6 km.

The Brothers
This is not a true summit,
but a group of three great viewpoints toward the Great Range. The shortest hike
to the second Brother (the best one) has a total of 5,7 km.
Bald
Peak
A bare rock summit part of a long ridge with many interesting
viewpoints. The whole hike is 12.4 km long.
Dix
Dix is one of the most Southward 4,000 feet summit of the Adirondack High Peaks
Region. Starting from the parking lot on Rte 73, this hike follows a brook for
almost 3 km but has a last section toward the summit of Dix that is one of the
steepest of the Adirondack. The whole hike is 22 km long.
Colvin/Indian
Head
This summit is less visited than the other highest peaks, but
has many interesting things to offer. Part of the trail is along Gill Brook with
its many water cascades. The trail section after the junction to the Dix summit
is very steep by place and passes over many small summits along a tree covered
ridge. On your way down, don't miss Indian Head and Fish Hawk Cliffs. They are
two great viewpoints on the lakes and mountains.
Saddleback
Mountain
Saddleback Mt. is
named for its two peaks with a small valley. It is located between Gothics and
Basin Mt. in the Great Range. The East side trail of Saddleback offers great views
of the Gothics. The West side trail traverses a very steep rock cliff unique in
its style in the Adirondacks. This rock cliff is very steep and ropes may be needed
for safe passage.
 Giant
Mountain:
This is one of
the most popular summit of the Adirondacks. The two main trails are at 1 km (Roaring
Brook Trail) and at 3 km (Ridge Trail) South from St-Hubert. The Ridge Trail is
the most spectacular one with from the middle of its height a long bare rock section
with many viewpoints toward the West over the Dix Range, The Great Range, Mt.
Marcy, Algonquin Peak and up to Cascade Mt.. This trail difficulty is similar
to the one of Algonquin Peak from Heart Lake. They have similar length and high.
The beginning of the Ridge Trail is very steep whereas the one of Algonquin Peak
is very progressive. The second most popular approach is the Roaring Brook Trail
that passes a side trail leading to a waterfall (Roaring Brook Falls) then follows
a ridge with some viewpoints to the summit. It is possible to make a long loop
using those two trails.
Mount Skylight:
This mountain peak is one of the most remote of the high peaks and is located
just South of Mt. Marcy. It has a very distinctive round shape and it's summit
is almost flat and as big as a football field. The South approach from Upper Works
is the easiest one to get there in one day.
Cascade
Mountain:
One of the most
popular summits of the Adirondacks with Algonquin Peak and Giant Mt.. It's the
easiest hike among the 4,000 feet summit. Cascade Mt. has a 360 degree view from
its large rocky top. There is a magnificent view to the North of the entire Lake
Placid Valley. The entire hike is in a wooden trail except for the last ˝ km,
which is on bare rock. This summit stands apart from the other High Peaks, so
there is no view over those highest summits that are Mt. Marcy, Mt. Colden or
Algonquin Peak.
 | |  |
Blake Peak
This summit is part of the Pinnacle
Ridge just after Mt. Colvin in the Upper Ausable Lake region. This is a tree-covered
summit with a viewpoint between the trees to the South at Elk Lake. Even if the
trail that leads there from Mt. Colvin is a marked trail, it looks more like a
herd path than like a regular maintained trail. They are many very steep sections
that might be easier to pass with help of a ladder or a rope.
Algonquin
Peak
This
is the second highest mountain in the Adirondack at 5114 feet. It's also one of
the three most popular ones with Cascade Mt. and Giant Mt.. It takes less than
three hours to hike up and less than 2,5 hours to hike down for a 13 km over all
distance from Heart Lake.

White Water Rafting
 Each
spring, the streams and rivers build up a head of water from the snows melting
down from the mountains. This water pours into the rivers and streams that can
cause some pretty fast running water. Today there is the challenge and adventure
of Whitewater Rafting, with 12 man rafts, canoes, and even kayaks. What
is Whitewater Rafting? You put on a wetsuit, climb aboard a raft, grab a paddle,
and shove off. Between hanging on, paddling for dear life, getting soaking wet,
and yelling your head off, somehow you survive. Individuals with little to no
experience can enjoy a wilderness rafting trip by taking advantage of the services
offered by outfitting companies. Whitewater Rafting trips are designed to emphasize
learning, paticipation, and enjoyment and can vary from easy excursions to wild
