Near Inlet, NY there is a small ledge above Sixth Lake, that is a popular short hike with views of Sixth Lake and surrounding lands. The views aren’t as good as Rondaxe/Bald Mountain, but still are an interesting, half hour hike.

Rocky Mountain Trailhead Sign. Which is great they tell us the elevation of the mountain, but what is the elevation of the parking area? While I know the hike is only an ascent of 400 feet, why couldn’t they just tell us that fact? Silly DEC!

The Rocky Mountain Trail while short, is fairly steep, with a few places being almost a scramble.

The views off Rocky Mountain are somewhat interesting, but not spectacular as those from Rondaxe just a little ways down the road. Forth Lake is the closest lake, and the one you get the best view from her.

You have many good views of NY 28, such as this one widing down southernly toward Eagle Bay.

A top Rocky, you can see how this mountain got it’s name.

The ridges in this part of the Adirondacks, remind me a little bit farther south around Good Luck Cliffs and NY 10.

Here is a map of the hike.
