Pitchoff Mountain

Pitchoff Mountain is a summit in Adirondack Park with two distinct peaks, the northern one reaching about 3,323 feet. From the northern peak you can see across the surrounding Adirondack mountains and lakes below.

The trails on this mountain were first developed in the early 20th century and became popular hiking routes. They helped shape outdoor recreation in the Adirondack Park region.

Local hikers maintain traditional knowledge of the mountain's routes, sharing information about trail conditions and seasonal changes through community networks.

The hike involves rocky and rooted terrain that requires sturdy footwear and careful footing in places. Plan for a full day and watch for slippery sections when the ground is wet.

On clear days the view stretches beyond the Adirondacks to include the mountains of Vermont across the state border. This rare cross-border visibility makes the summit destination especially rewarding for day hikers.
