The Adirondack Mountains are sometimes considered part of the Appalachians but, geologically speaking, are a southern extension of the Laurentian Mountains of Canada. The Adirondacks do not form a connected range, but are an eroded dome consisting of over one hundred summits, ranging from under 1,200 to over 5,000 feet (370 m to 1,500 m) in altitude.
The highest of the Adirondack mountains are listed in the Adirondack High Peaks. Other mountains in the Adirondacks include:
