The Adirondack Mountains are one of three major mountain ranges in New York state, joined by the Catskills and a section of the Appalachians.
The mountains and the land surrounding them, comprised of more than six million acres, make up the Adirondack Park. Formed in 1892 and spanning an area bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Great Smokies National Parks combined, it’s the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States.
