Why choose a trail at Iroquois Peak, New York?

Iroquois Peak is the eighth-highest peak in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, U.S., and is part of the MacIntyre Range, which also includes Wright Peak, Mount Marshall, and Algonquin Peak. Although the mountain does not have an officially maintained trail, a well-maintained "herd path" leads to the summit from the northeast.

Iroquois Peak is located in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. At 4,848 feet, it is the highest peak in the area. The hike to the summit is a strenuous 8.4 miles, but the views from the top are well worth the effort. The peak offers stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and forests. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Vermont border. The summit is also home to a number of interesting geological features, including a large boulder that has been split in two by a lightning strike.
