Description

This is one of the newest trails in the Adirondacks! It was opened to the public in October 2018 and is a model for sustainable trail design. From the register, runners begin a gentle climb to one of the finest views of the High Peaks. Switchbacks are used throughout the trail so the climb does not get too steep as it meanders through the woods. In the spring, you'll see tons of bright wildflowers. The hardened trail is easy on the knees.

Existing trail with a trailhead, register, trail markers, and based out of the Mountain Pass Lodge. Parking for running is in Lot 3, retail and services are available inside the Mountain Pass Lodge.
