Basin Mountain, Mountain summit in Adirondack Park, United States
Basin Mountain rises to 4,827 feet in elevation, making it the ninth-highest peak within New York State's Adirondack mountain range.
The first documented climb of Basin Mountain took place between 1869 and 1871 when James J. Storrow and Orlando Beede reached its summit.
The mountain forms part of the Adirondack Forty-Sixers challenge, where hikers aim to climb all peaks above 4,000 feet in the region.
Hikers can access Basin Mountain through the State Range Trail, starting at Johns Brook Lodge for a 4.5-mile trek with 2,870 feet elevation gain.
A survey bolt placed by Verplanck Colvin in 1876 remains visible near the summit, marking historical measurement efforts in the Adirondacks.
