Giant Mountain, Mountain peak in Adirondacks, New York, US
Giant Mountain rises to 4,627 feet with two major ridges that form a large basin on its western side, featuring numerous rock slides.
Charles Brodhead and his survey team completed the first documented climb of any Adirondack High Peak when they ascended Giant Mountain in 1797.
The mountain's name evolved from Giant of the Valley in 1813 to Giant Mountain by 1859, reflecting its dominance over Pleasant Valley.
Five trails lead to the summit, with Ridge Trail covering 3.2 miles and Roaring Brook Trail extending 3.6 miles through an ancient hemlock forest.
The mountain allows visitors to view 39 major peaks, including the Dix Range to the south and Whiteface Mountain to the north.
