Tirrell Mountain
About
Tirrell Mountain is a summit in Hamilton County, New York, about 6 miles from the town of Long Lake. Summer is the most comfortable season to visit. Typical July averages at the nearby Newcomb weather station run about 77°F for highs and 53°F for lows, but that station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the mountain, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several outings lie close by. Blue Mountain Trail and Tirrell Pond Trail are each under 4 miles away, and Castle Rock Trail is about 5 miles off. For time on the water, the Raquette River is roughly 8 miles away.
