About Cooks Mountain
Cooks Mountain is a summit in New York, about 2.3 miles from the town of Ticonderoga. It sits at roughly 1,200 feet, and the Cook Mountain hike lies about 0.7 miles away, making that the natural way to reach the top. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Cornwall, VT weather station show July highs around 80°F and September highs around 71°F, and that station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Rogers Slide, a climbing area, is about 1.5 miles away, and La Chute, a canoeing spot, is about 1.8 miles off. The LaChuteRiver Walk Interpretive Trail is about 2.8 miles away, and the Lost Pond Trail is about 4.7 miles away.
