Spread Eagle Mountain
About
Spread Eagle Mountain is a summit in New York, rising to 2,850 feet about 8.7 miles from the town of Elizabethtown. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lake Placid show July highs around 74°F with lows near 54°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. The Hopkins Direct Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and the Mossy Cascade Trail and Ranney Trail are each about half a mile off. Climbers can find Case Wall roughly 2.8 miles away.
