First Peak

New York

About

First Peak is a summit in New York, rising to 1,592 feet about 3 miles from the village of Bolton Landing. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Whitehall weather station run from highs around 71°F in May to about 74°F in September, and the summit sits well above that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Several trails start close by. The Northwest Bay Trail is about 1.4 miles away, and the Pole Hill Pond trail (blue) and Fishbrook Pond-Lake George Trail are each under 2 miles off. Climbers can head to Main Wall, about 2.2 miles away.
