Frenyea Mountain
About
Frenyea Mountain is a summit in New York, about 6 miles from the town of Elizabethtown. It sits in a cluster of trails and climbing areas, which makes it easy to pair with other outings in the same corner of the state. Summer is the most comfortable season. A nearby weather station at Lake Placid records typical July averages of about 74°F for highs and 54°F for lows, and September stays mild with typical highs near 66°F. That station sits well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Winters are severe, with typical January highs around 23°F at the station. The closest route is an unmaintained trail about a quarter mile away. Soda Range Trail and North Hurricane Trail are each roughly 3 miles off, and climbers can head to Hurricane Crag, about 5 miles away.
