Rocky Mountain


Rocky Mountain in the Adirondacks Park can be reached from a parking lot on Route 28, just south of downtown Inlet, NY.  When we hiked Black Bear Mountain which started from the same parking lot, there was a lot of people coming from and going to Rocky Mountain.




We returned early in the fall season to see what seems to be such a popular destination. We wanted to sign the registry but the book was full attesting to the popularity of the trail



 



The hike was only 0.5miles but unrelentingly steep, with an elevation gain of 448 feet, going over rocks and gnarled roots of the towering trees.









The view at the summit was, however, magnificent - the best view of the area for the amount of effort to get there.
