Mount Jo, Mountain summit in Adirondack Mountains, New York, US.

Mount Jo rises to 2,876 feet elevation with a 2.5-mile loop trail leading through wooded areas and rocky sections to its summit.

Henry Van Hovenberg named the mountain after his fiancée Josephine Schofield in 1877, who died before their planned wedding ceremony.

The summit belongs to the Adirondack Mountain Club, offering educational programs about local ecology and mountain preservation throughout the year.

The hiking trail begins at Adirondack Loj parking area, featuring two route options: a steep direct path or a more gradual ascent.

From the peak, visitors observe Heart Lake and multiple Adirondack High Peaks, including Mount Marcy, New York's highest elevation point.
