Iroquois Peak

Iroquois Peak is a mountain in the MacIntyre Range of the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York.

Although the mountain does not have an officially maintained trail, a well-maintained herd path marked by cairns exists between the summits of Iroquois Peak and Algonquin Peak, 1.1 miles (1.8 km) to the northeast.

[5] The earliest recorded ascent of the mountain was made in October 1883 by William H. Brown, who erected a signal for the Colvin survey team on the summit.

[4] Colvin marked the peak with three different names on survey maps: South MacIntyre, after Archibald McIntyre and the nearby Mount MacIntyre (now Algonquin peak); Mount Clinton, for Governor DeWitt Clinton; and Mount Iroquois, based on the fact the mountain fell near the latitude of a supposed Algonquin and Iroquois boundary that divided hunting grounds in the Adirondacks.

After discussions between the brothers and Russell Carson, the name "Iroquois" was then assigned to its present location.
