Mount Van Hoevenberg
Mt. Van Hoevenberg is a 4.3 mile out & back trail with an elevation gain of 892 feet located near Lake Placid, NY. Even though this trail is rated moderate, it's a very accessible trail and it's also very well maintained.
One of the nice things about Mt. Van Hoevenberg is that the view is above tree line but it's not too far from the trees allowing for a very spectacular view. Hiking a high peak is great and the views are pretty amazing, but there is something to be said about being not too far up from tree line.
We did Mt. Van Hoevenberg after doing Rooster Comb and Indian Head, so this was our third day hiking and we wanted something with a nice view but not too long because we were tired. It was a perfect choice, Mt. Van Hoevenberg is a lovely place to be.
