Hurricane Mountain

Hurricane Mountain is a 3,694-foot (1,126 m) mountain near Keene in the north of the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks in New York, USA. It has some of the most impressive views of any of the lesser peaks; this is due to its prominence, and the fact that its summit was cleared by Verplanck Colvin in the course of his early survey of the Adirondacks.[1] On a clear day, the length of Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont are visible to the east, and many of the High Peaks can be seen to the south through the northwest. There is a disused fire tower on the top.

There are three trails to the summit, from the north (unmaintained), south and east.
