Description

The Short Trail is indeed shorter than the Long Trail but it is also steep and very eroded. The footing is difficult in many spots and some short scrambles up rock outcrops are required near the top. I would not recommend the route for anyone who has any difficulty with agility.

The Adirondack Mountain Club is currently improving the Long Trail which may be a better choice for those who are not able to hike difficult Adirondack terrain.
