There are 46 Adirondack "high peaks". They have to be over 4000 ft. to qualify as a high peak.

Mt.Marcy is the highest at a little over 5000ft. So, no, it's not the Rockies, LOL, but it's a very beautiful area. I've climbed 5 high peaks and they were big enough for me!! :)

You're right, andyssister, they're not the Rockies, but they are a lot more accessible. The high peaks of the Northwests are beautiful to look at, but are forbidding.

We moved here (upstate NY) from the northwest 18 years ago and I have to admit I laughed when the locals called a little hump in the landscape a "mountain". The woods here are much more friendly to hikers and the fall is indescribable to anyone who hasn't witnessed it in person.

I'll never leave here, even though I threaten to do so every winter. A few years back, I had to get out my metal detector just to find my truck under the snow! ...just kidding.....sort of.
