CANCELLED - Hike McKenzie Mountain
(Rain date: November 12th) – Tackle the longest of the Saranac Lake 6! McKenzie Mountain is a full- day adventure, covering 10 miles round-trip from the Lake Placid side. This route offers a gradual start along a ski trail before transitioning to a red- marked path that climbs steadily toward the summit. Expect a challenging but rewarding outing with excellent views and classic Adirondack terrain. We will meet at 9:45 AM at the Lake Placid / Whiteface Inn Lane Trailhead, ready to begin hiking at 10:00 AM. Trailhead location: Whiteface Inn Lane (County Route 31), off State Route 86, just west of Lake Placid. Parking is roadside — please be careful not to block the road. This approach is the more direct route from Lake Placid. Plan for up to 5 hours to reach the peak and about 4 hours for the return. This is a full-day hike, so be sure to bring lunch, water, snacks, poles, and layered clothing.
RSVP REQUIRED.
