Pitchoff Mountain is a 36000NaN0 mountain opposite Cascade Mountain on NY 73 west of Keene Valley in Essex County, New York, in the US. There are two summits; the higher summit is viewless, but the northern summit, at 3323feet offers 360 degree views of the nearby Cascade Lakes, the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, and, in clear weather, the Green Mountains of Vermont.[1] There is a 5.2miles hiking trail that starts on Route 73 west of the Cascade Lakes, climbs 2miles to the blind summit, then traverses the nearly two-mile summit ridge to the northern summit before descending 1.4miles to Route 73 east of the Lakes, 2.7miles east of the starting point.
