Dial Mountain

Dial Mountain is a summit in Adirondack Park with an elevation of about 4,020 feet, accessible via hiking trails that cross dense forests and rocky terrain. The main approach passes through wooded sections and opens to areas with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

The mountain was developed during the 20th century as part of the regional hiking trail network by conservation organizations. These early efforts in infrastructure and maintenance shaped how the summit is used and accessed today.

The summit attracts local hiking groups who celebrate climbers completing multiple peaks in the region through organized programs. This tradition of peak-bagging remains central to how people use and talk about this location today.

Hikers should register in advance and bring sufficient water since the route has limited natural water sources. Terrain can be unpredictable, so sturdy footwear and careful attention on slippery sections are important.

The summit connects to a neighboring peak via a ridge trail, allowing experienced hikers to climb multiple summits in a single day. This connection makes the area attractive to those seeking to complete several peaks during one visit.
