Mount Haystack, Mountain summit in Adirondack Mountains, New York, US
Mount Haystack rises to 4,960 feet as the third-highest peak in the Adirondack Mountains, featuring exposed rock faces and steep slopes along its trails.
The mountain received its first recorded ascent in August 1849 by Old Mountain Phelps and companions, who initially documented it as a great stack of rock.
The mountain forms part of the Great Range hiking system, attracting experienced outdoor enthusiasts who seek to complete the challenging Adirondack peak collection.
Hikers need to obtain a self-issuing trip ticket at the trailhead, with access points available through The Garden in Keene Valley or Adirondack Loj.
The final approach requires traversing Little Haystack Mountain before reaching a series of cairns that guide climbers over bare rock to the main summit.
