フランクリン郡の絶景の山頂・トップ5

It's a pretty long haul to this summit but the views are stupendous. They're made even better by a restored fire tower at the top, originally built in 1918. Watch for wildflowers in season!

Amazing views from the top

Seymour Mountain is part of the Seward Range and is a worthwhile climb, boasting stunning views along the way. With a trail distance of 14 miles round-trip, an elevation of 4,120 feet, and an ascent of 2,355 feet, it's a challenging but rewarding climb. There is some scrambling involved, so please assess the risk and hike responsibly.

Coney mountain is located right on the border of Hamilton and Franklin counties. There is a relatively new well marked trail up Coney which gently meanders around the mountain, instead of climbing straight up it. Coney Mountain is also part of the Tupper Lake Hiking Triad. It is a super good hike with a stunning panoramic view.

From the summit, you have incredible views of the Saranac Lakes and the High Peaks.

If you are still hungry for climbing, once on overpass, you can head up to the top of the Whiteface. Additional 700m vertical elevation over 9 km and back. There is $10 entrance fee at the gate. Top is on 1450m elevation so be prepared for all kinds of weather. There is caffe at the top for refreshment. Happy rides!

It was early June in Adirondacks, quiet roads and temperature in mid teens. Perfect for going up the mountain. Nature is waking up from the long winter with blooming trees and refreshing smell of pine. Be on a lookout for white tail deer and moose as they are roaming through the area. You will be warm hustling up the mountain but bring good wind breaker, hat and full finger gloves for downhill. You will be easy going 70 km/h, it will be cold. Bring food and water as there is nothing on the way. Treat yourself, once in Wilmington, with local brew and pizza at ADK Pizza&Pasta. You earned it! Happy riding and see you out there.
