Pitchoff Mountain, Sentinel Range Wilderness Area
Facts and practical information
Pitchoff Mountain is a 3,600-foot mountain opposite Cascade Mountain on NY 73 west of Keene Valley in Essex County, New York, in the US. There are two summits; the higher summit is viewless, but the northern summit, at 3,323 feet offers 360 degree views of the nearby Cascade Lakes, the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, and, in clear weather, the Green Mountains of Vermont. There is a 5.2-mile hiking trail that starts on Route 73 west of the Cascade Lakes, climbs 2.0 miles to the blind summit, then traverses the nearly two-mile summit ridge to the northern summit before descending 1.4 miles to Route 73 east of the Lakes, 2.7 miles east of the starting point.
