List of mountains of New York (state)

The Adirondack Mountains are sometimes considered part of the Appalachians but, geologically speaking, are a southern extension of the Laurentian Mountains of Canada.

The Adirondacks do not form a connected range, but are an eroded dome consisting of over one hundred summits, ranging from under 1,200 feet (366 m) to over 5,000 feet (1,524 m) in altitude.

Other mountains in the Adirondacks include: The Catskills, which lie northwest of New York City and southwest of Albany, are a mature dissected plateau, an uplift region that was subsequently eroded into sharp relief.

They are sometimes considered an extension of the Appalachian Mountains, but are not geologically related.

Ranges include: Myles, William J., Harriman Trails, A Guide and History, The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, New York, N.Y., 1999.
