Derek and I hiked this November 21, 2010. Noonmark is one of the higher
mountains in the Adirondacks and is part of the Adirondack 100-highets
peaks. The views from its summit are outstanding! a
We parked at the Saint Huberts lot, then walked up to the trail head from there.
This 3.94 mile, round trip, hike is over moderate to steep terrain.
From the parking lot we walked up the dirt road for around 0.25 miles to
the register at the trail head for Noonmark Mountain.
The trail starts on a private driveway for 0.2 mi. before the foot
trail bears right just before a large barn at the end of the driveway.
From this point the trail is moderate as it follows an old jeep road. At
a bit over 0.5 miles from the trail head you will come to the
intersection for Noonmark Mountain on the right. From here the trail
climbs much more aggressively through a mixed forest. As you ascend, the
gets more demanding and I found more rock slab under foot. The final
approach to the summit is quite steep over open rock, and the views
begin to show.
The open rock summit gives you 360 degree view of the High Peaks Region.
Elevation gain 2195'
