Spruce Mountain
About
Spruce Mountain is a summit in New York, about 9 miles from the town of Lake Luzerne. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. A nearby weather station at Indian Lake records typical July averages of about 75°F by day and 54°F at night, easing to around 67°F highs in September. That station sits nearly 1,000 feet lower than the mountain, so temperatures up high run cooler. Winters there are harsh, with typical January highs of about 25°F and lows near 6°F, and wet days are common in every month, ranging from about 13 to 17 a month. The area also offers climbing and more hiking. West Ridge and Rods'n'Guns Wall are both climbing areas a little over 2 miles away. Hadley Mountain Trail is about 2.5 miles off, and Potash Cliff is roughly 8 miles away.
