Memorial Highway
An eight-mile climb from the crossroads in Wilmington, the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway ascends to the summit of the fifth highest mountain in the Adirondacks. The last five miles are the most spectacular as the road winds upward through a changing forest and an alpine summit environment. At the summit parking area, take a short hike to the very top or hop on the in-mountain elevator for a truly amazing 360-degree view of the surrounding wilderness.
Join us in a tour of the alpine environment on the summit of Whiteface. Experience first hand the ways in which Mother Nature has adapted to the harsh alpine conditions found at the summit. These tours which are free of charge are offered June 23 through September 31 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 11:00 am. The tour will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete, and while the walk in not particularly strenuous we do recommend proper foot wear. Please meet at the summit elevation sign.
