About This Trail

Imported description

This is an out and back trail that will lead to two more ADK 46'er mountains. It is very easy to follow and mark the entire way. You will have great views of the waterfalls on the summit of Colvin. This restriction is strictly enforced. The parking is across the highway from the access to Giant Mt. It is at the south of the two junctions. It was 73 and Ausable Road. "Ausable Club Rd." is not a quote. You will likely have to park on the highway. From the parking area, walk up the road past the golf course. Before you reach the large club, take a left and go between two tennis courts to the gate house.
