Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Bald Mountain, or Rondaxe Mountain, is a part of the Adirondack Mountains in the U.S. state of New York.[1] The trail leading up the mountain is a popular hike, likely due to its proximity to tourist towns (such as Old Forge, NY). The mountain is also home to the Rondaxe Mountain Fire Tower,[2] which contributes to the trail's popularity.
History
Bald Mountain was used by Verplanck Colvin in the 1870s as a survey point.[3] Colvin suggested in 1886 that the summit take the name "Mt. St. Louis".[3]
Official name
Bald Mountain is the name most commonly used today, but it was officially renamed Rondaxe Mountain in 1912, when a fire tower was erected on a mountain in Croghan with the same name.[1] The name Rondaxe was taken from the nearby Rondaxe Lake.[4]
Hiking
The trail is just under a mile long and climbs 500 feet in elevation. The fire tower is the most popular in the Adirondacks, with over 15,000 visitors annually.[1]
