A short distance from town, this mountain will take some energy but will not disappoint! A nice trail run/hike. First mile and a quarter, pretty easy Gets steeper!Not for the beginner!

>> a spot with a nice beach and also a trailhead for a difficult mountain This trailhead is located on Route 3 going towards Saranac Lake, located on the left side. If you take the trail that is located on the same side of the road as the parking area, you'll walk less than a mile of flat trail and end up at a long stretch of sandy beach located on Middle Saranac Lake, perfect for swimming or lounging. If you take the trail on the opposite side of the road from the parking area, that is the trail to the peak at Ampersand Mountain. The first half of this trail has a moderate slope, but then it increases rapidly afterwards. Not recommended for first time hikers, but can be safely enjoyed if you have moderate prior experience. Also depending on the day, it can be quite muddy. Distance : 2.7 miles one way | 5.4 miles round trip Elevation gain from trailhead to peak : 1,775 feet (steep) Mountain elevation : 3,353 feet above sea level Rough estimate round trip time : 5 hours

A strenuous hike that starts flat with most of the elevation change in the last mile and a half. Great views from the open summit. Will be busy on weekends and sunny days!

The nicest of the Saranac 6ers. Not the easiest hike but the 360 degree views at the top are well worth it!

One of Saranac Lake sixer challenge. This hike can get busy and parking can fill up quick. It is more difficult but still consider a medium hike. Breath taking views!
