Fifth Peak
About
Fifth Peak is a summit in New York, rising to 1,812 feet about 5 miles from the village of Bolton Landing. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Glens Falls show September highs around 72°F with lows near 48°F, and July highs around 82°F. That station sits well below the peak, so temperatures up top run cooler. Two trails start within half a mile: Five Mile Point Trail and Tongue Mountain Range Trail. Black Mountain Point Trail and Lakeside Trail are each about 1.8 miles away.
