Everything about Mount Haystack totally explained
Mount Haystack is a mountain in the
Great Range of the
Adirondack High Peaks in the
Adirondack Mountains of
New York. It is the third highest peak in the state, after
Algonquin Peak and
Mount Marcy. It gets its name from the resemblance of its rounded,
conical peak to a
haystack.
Despite this and the views offered from its bare,
alpine summit, it isn't visited by as many
hikers outside of aspiring members of the
Adirondack Forty-Sixers. This isn't terribly difficult to understand, as first it's rather remote from the nearest trailhead and the approach from either direction is steep and challenging, neither of which recommend the mountain to casual hikers.
The most frequent approach if Haystack is the main goal of the expedition is to follow the
Johns Brook Trail from the popular Garden parking area to the
Phelps Trail and then use
Shorey's Short Cut to get over to the
Range Trail. It is possible to combine this with an attempt on Marcy itself, but that makes for a long day and the approach from Panther Gorge is even steeper than that from the north.
Some hikers come along the Great Range itself, making the peak their last stop before Marcy itself, or combine it with neighboring Basin and Saddleback. It can also be approached from privately-owned Upper Ausable Lake.
