High Peaks Information Center

Hike up to Wright, Algonquin and Iroquois peaks. Cold day lots of ice, microspikes worked well all day. About a foot of snow blown in between Algonquin and Iroquois. Love the Daks anytime.

Great spot for snowshoeing. Heart lake and mount jo make for a fun few hours.

very good attention from the work staff. you find many useful things for hiking. I loved.

Hiking the high peaks is an experience of a life time. The information Center and personnel are very helpful and courtious to make your endeavor safe and exciting.

On my Avalanche Lake hike on June 25th, my friend and I stopped in the info center to see if we needed anything. There was a young lady there that was EXTREMELY helpful and showed us on their big map they had best routes and options. Thanks to her we stayed on course and had a great hike!

Friendliness is a must for a place like that, and they nailed it! Thank you from all the way back in Maryland!! :)

Great place to get any type of information you could possibly need for a hike in the High Peaks. They will give you trail recommendations, recent trail conditions, lengths of trails, and daily weather conditions which is key. They also have trail maps, hiking equipment, clothes, hiking snacks and drinks for sale. If you are camping overnight in the Adirondacks a bear canister is required and you can rent one from them.

Helpful and friendly staff here help to make any adventure in the High Peaks smooth and enjoyable. In the winter, you can rent snowshoes at about $15 a pair if you don’t have your own. There’s also a 24 hour heated, clean bathroom outside of the info center if you need a place to warm up or relieve yourself when the center is closed. The gift shop also has a selection of trail snacks, memorabilia, and useful gear (including snowshoes, finger warmers, etc.) for purchase. I recommend stopping by for suggestions and to support the AMC’s great work. Pro tip, weekend parking is discounted to $7 after 1pm. Otherwise, parking is $15

If there is no conductor here when you arrive to park, you’ll need to prepare exact cash. Fee was 15 dollars in Apr 2023.

should your first stop, useful information and visitor center

Great and safe place for parking when hiking a lot of the high peaks

They have free WiFi and a few outlets if you need to charge anything. Service is great and the staff is more than willing to answer any questions or give suggestions on paths/trails to take.

They were helpful with recommendations. Good to stop in and get the scoop before you hike.

Great place to grab any last minute items and advice you might need before your adventure into the high peaks

Maps, trail and weather conditions and friendly people who love the outdoors. Great selection of books on the region as well.

Excellent rest room facilities and great selection of hiking memorabilia for the 46ers

Great place to stop and get information and take a break. Nice walking opportunities for both experienced and the not so much.

Absolutely beautiful building. Had basically everything you need for a day hike in the store.

Mount Marcy. Muddy and wonderful

Great place to stop before hitting any of the local trails. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Cozy little place, friendly staff, the cafe has good burgers. Great trails.
