Great Range

It rises in the heart of the High Peaks region between Ausable Lakes to the southeast and the Johns Brook Valley to the northwest.

[1] The range is approximately 12 miles (19 km) long and includes seven of the forty-six High Peaks.

[2] The entire range can be hiked on six maintained trails, and is considered a premier challenge for hikers in the Adirondacks.

The State Range Trail continues southwest to Haystack and Marcy.

A side trip to Rooster Comb can be made which adds an additional mile of distance.
