The Adk Range Trail is a 2.7-mile point-to-point hike in New York's High Peaks Wilderness, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It is a moderate route with a total elevation gain of 1,694 feet, rising from about 4,691 feet to a high point of 4,738 feet. The climb is rolling, and the trail also drops about 1,734 feet on the way back, so plan for a full day on foot. The trail starts at a lower point of about 3,498 feet and ends at roughly the same elevation, which makes it a natural pairing with other routes in the area. The A.W. Weld Trail and the Gothics climbing area both sit about 0.1 mile away, and the Beaver Meadow Trail and Pyramid Peak are each about 0.4 mile off. The Sawteeth Trail is about 0.6 mile away. For a longer outing, the West Branch Ausable River offers canoeing about 7.5 miles away, and the E: High Peaks Region climbing area is about 2.3 miles off.
