Tongue Mountain Loop

This is one of the best place to hike in the US. The Tongue Mountain Range Routes are a collection of hiking trails that may be found in the Adirondack Mountains of New York's Tongue Mountain Range, a subordinate range. The trails' combined length of 25 miles (40 km) ranges from leisurely strolls along Lake George's coast at the foot of the mountains to strenuous ascents of mountain peaks in the range.

First Peak, French Point Peak, Fifth Peak, Five Mile Mountain (highest point in Town of Bolton), Huckleberry Mountain, and Brown Mountain are the six summits that make up the Tongue Mountain Range along the ridge. Brown Mountain, Huckleberry Mountain, and Five Mile Mountain are all included in the Five Mile Mountain path. For overnight camping, Fifth Peak and Brown Mountain both have lean-tos. Both open, exposed rock outcrops and woodland sections are traversed along the path. The trail ascends and descends 1,258 feet (383 m). From Clay Meadow, other routes lead to First Peak, French Point Peak, and Fifth Peak, which are located in the southern section of the range.

The Adirondack Mountains, Lake Champlain, and the Vermont Green Mountains may all be seen from the trail. You can chill off in the water at sunny Montcalm Point, the Tongue's tip, after a workout scrambling up and down three 1,500-foot summits while walking north to south. Within the boundaries of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation-designated sites, camping and burning are permitted along the Tongue Range Trails. Specific laws are upheld, and leave no trace principles are promoted. Above 4,000 feet in height, camping and fires are not allowed (1,219 m). The months of April through October are ideal for hiking Tongue Mountain Loop. Dogs are permitted, but they must be leashed.
