About This Trail

Imported description

The High Peaks have a small peak with spectacular views. The snow mountain is not one of the tallest peaks in the High Peaks area of the Adirondacks but it has a good view. The trail to the top is steep and you will have some stream crossing, but the view from the top of Giant and other high peaks makes the steep ascent worth it.
