Mount Utsayantha (Stamford)
Hike up Tower Road to reach Mount Utsayantha. It is approximately one mile from the base of the road to the summit, with an elevation gain of 680 feet. This two-mile round-trip hike or drive is on a steep gravel road.
Trailhead:
| Follow NY 23 east from the village of Stamford, take a right on Mountain Avenue. This road is steep. There is a dirt road on the left as you crest the ridge, which is Tower Road. You’ll see a sign for the park. Park in this area if you are planning to hike the road, as the other roads along Tower Road are private. | https://maps.app.goo.gl/4tZL7bGQ9riszP879 |
