Hopkins Mountain | C'est Notre Monde Map

Description

Located opposite the most famous peaks of the Adirondacks in the Giant Mountain Wilderness is little-known Hopkins Mountain. Although the summit only reaches an altitude of 962 meters (3,156 ft), Hopkins offers a breathtaking view at a reasonable distance with a gradual climb. You will not regret visiting this charming and low traffic forest trail with its viewpoints, waterfall and river. We stumbled upon this charming place and the images we captured speak for themselves: It’s a real favourite for C’est Notre Monde.
