Chimney Mt. is a small mountain even by Adirondack standards, only rising 2,700 ft. above sea level. That being said, it is a very popular mountain in the central Adirondacks.
There are three factors that contribute to Chimney's popularity. The first factor is that the summit offers 360 degree views, a rarity for the central Adirondacks and even more rare at a such low elevation.
The second factor is that the trail to the summit is a steep class I trail that is just over a mile long, making the mountain accessible to many hikers of all ages.
The third factor is a geologic oddity. Just below and before the summit there is a chimney formation. Along with the chimney there is a system of caves and rock crevasses. The chimney and other rock formations provide many opportunities for climbing scrambling and caving.
If you enter the cave and follow indications on the cache page, you might find GC2JCKR...
