Mount Adams, Mountain summit in Adirondack Park, New York, US
Mount Adams rises 3,520 feet above sea level in the Adirondack Mountains with steep rocky slopes leading to expansive views of surrounding wilderness.
The Adirondack Mountain Club constructed the original fire tower on Mount Adams in 1922 to monitor forest fires across the High Peaks region.
The fire tower on Mount Adams serves as a physical reminder of the conservation efforts that shaped the protection of Adirondack forests.
The trail to Mount Adams summit begins at the Upper Works parking area and follows a 4.3-mile path through dense forest and rocky terrain.
The restored fire tower at the summit provides a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding High Peaks, including Allen Mountain and Mount Marcy.
