State Range Trail is a hard hike in New York's High Peaks Wilderness, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The route is a point-to-point trail of about 2.8 miles, with a total elevation gain of 2,239 feet. It starts at roughly 3,956 feet and climbs to a high point of about 4,840 feet, with a rolling profile that includes a total descent of about 1,301 feet. The trail is not open to bikes or horses. Plan on about two hours for the trip, and expect a steep climb that makes this a challenging outing rather than a short walk. Several other destinations sit close by. Panther Gorge, a climbing area, and the Shorey Short Cut Trail are each about 0.7 miles away, and Haystack Trail is about 0.8 miles off. The Van Hoevenberg Trail, a cross-country ski route, is about 1.3 miles away.
