There are three major mountain ranges in New York: the Adirondack Mountains, the Catskill Mountains, and part of the Appalachian Mountains.
Adirondack Mountains[]
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 feet (366 m) to over 5,000 feet (1,524 m) in altitude.
The highest of the Adirondack mountains are listed in the Adirondack High Peaks. Other mountains in the Adirondacks include:
