Gray Peak (New York)

Gray Peak is a mountain located in the town of Keene in Essex County, New York.

[5] The first recorded ascent of the peak was made on September 16, 1872, by surveyor Verplanck Colvin and guide Bill Nye.

Although the mountain is only 0.6 miles (0.97 km) from the summit of Marcy and lacked prominence desired by the Marshall brothers for inclusion in the High Peaks, it was added to the list to preserve the name.

[6] Gray Peak can be climbed on an unmarked trail from Lake Tear of the Clouds, which can be approached from the Elk Lake or Upper Works parking lots.
