Weston Mountain
About
Weston Mountain is a summit in New York, rising to 3,204 feet about 6.5 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 cooler temperatures up top. Several trails start close by. Soda Range Trail, North Hurricane Trail and Gulf Brook Trail are each about 0.9 miles away, and Little and Big Crow Trail is about 1.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Hurricane Crag, roughly 3.4 miles away.
