Listing | Adirondack High Peaks |
Big Slide is the twenty-seventh highest peak of the High Peaks Region in the Adirondack Park in New York, USA. The peak was named for the prominent steep cliff that rises to its summit. Because it is relatively close to trailheads and because it offers a close view of the nearby Great Range, Big Slide is a popular day hiking destination. The most popular approach is via the Brothers, a set of rocky crags which offer several views on the way to the summit. It is located in the High Peaks Wilderness Area.
