BLACK MOUNTAIN
Photos Of Hiking Black Mountain in the Adirondacks
Go hiking on the Black Mountain Fire Tower Trail -- just one of 50 miles of foot trails that lay within the Lake George region. Overlooking the region from the east side of Lake George, Black Mountain reveals a panaramic view of Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains of Vermont, Hudson Valley, The Adirondack High Peaks and of course, the beautiful Lake George with its many islands.

Starting from the Pine Brook Road entrance, the Black Mountain Fire Tower can be more easily accessed by an intermediate trail which starts off as jeep trail. |
 |
This Adirondack hiking trail soon cuts off to the right into a marked foot path that winds slowly up the east side of Black Mountain. |
 |
About a mile into the hike, the Black Mountain Trail becomes a bit steeper. |
 |
Nearing the top of the mountain, take a short trail mix break - you are almost there! |
 |
As you reach the top of Black Mountain, you are greeted with the panoramic view of the narrows of Lake George and the High Peaks off in the distance. You'll remember this Adirondack hiking experience for a long time. |
