Maps - Photos - Videos

Crane Mountain is in the Central Adirondacks in Wilcox Lake Wild Forest near Wevertown in Warren County. There are over five miles of marked hiking trails on the 3254 foot mountain. There are many spectacular views from the open areas on the mountain, making this a very popular hike. There is an elevation gain of over 1300 feet. There are very steep sections on this short hike, but this tough hike is worth the view.

Looking again through the trees from even higher. Somehow I like the framing a lot with these kind of pictures.
