Hiking Difficult
If there is a hike in the Adirondacks that should not be missed, it is Giant Mountain. The 12th highest peak of the Adirondacks at 1410 meters (4626 ft), this hike is short but very demanding. While the trail itself is rugged with a steep climb, your efforts will be rewarded. At the summit, your view will extend from the valley to the majority of the 46 highest mountains in the region. Without hesitation, Giant Mountain is one of C’est Notre Monde’s favorite hikes. This article presents you with the trail of this jewel of the Adirondacks via the famous Ridge Trail (also called Zander Scott Trail). Forest, lake and rocks await you!
