Mount Colvin, Mountain summit in Adirondacks High Peaks Wilderness Area, New York.

Mount Colvin reaches an elevation of 4,057 feet with a bald summit providing direct views of Mount Marcy, the Great Range, and Upper Ausable Lake.

The mountain received its name from Verplanck Colvin, who conducted the first accurate measurement of Mount Marcy in 1875 and established the Adirondack Park.

Environmental education programs at Mount Colvin focus on preserving the natural heritage of the Adirondacks through guided tours and interactive learning sessions.

Hikers must obtain a self-issuing trip ticket and park in designated lots with capacity for 30 vehicles at Saint Huberts parking area.

The trail features multiple cascading waterfalls along Gill Brook, leading through dense forest sections before opening to exposed rock faces near the peak.
