Sleeping Beauty Mountain Summit - Hiking area in Fort Ann - Fort Ann, Sleeping Beauty Mountain Trail, USA

Beautiful place, bald summit with 270 degree view, including Lake George! The trail is pretty wet/icy in winter, so bring spikes if you plan to hike up here in winter. The road to the trail head closes seasonally (gate is where shelving rock rd branches off), so be prepared to hike an extra 1.5 miles each way if you're not already accounting for the closure. Lots of people go to this summit as part of the Lake George 12ster challenge, and it's part of a loop that also goes to Erebus. Sleeping beauty is much more well traveled, so you'll see more people and their dogs for that section. Great trail, well maintained!

Just beautiful! We were lucky enough that the weather was sunny and we could see for miles! The summit doesn't have trees so you're treated with a huge 270 degree view of the surrounding area. Highly recommend!

It had been years since I'd hiked Sleeping Beauty. Came up here last week for a beautiful view of the sunset over Lake George. The hike is steady and rocky at times, but relatively quick. I was amazed how intense the wind was when I made it out of the trees and onto the summit - made for an unforgettable experience. Definitely a must if you're looking for something to do. Bring suitable shoes, water, and a good snack to enjoy at the top! Should be amazing as the leaves continue to change.

Second time I've done this hike and it's great one for anyone to complete. The ascent/descent is gradual. Some parts of the trail are very muddy, so waterproof hiking shoes/boots would be smart to use. Took me about an hour to get to the summit and the views of Lake George, the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains are great.

This place is just amazing!! The view from the top is georgeus in fall and the hike very nice! Recommended 100%! Expect 3h30 to make it at a normal pace, almost not stopping. Pics are from mid October. Enjoy!

The overlook is spectacular! Trail is full of rocks, mud, and running water.

This was an amazing hike with an incredible view at the summit. I made the summit the final leg of my all day journey, started at Bump's Pond, trekked out to Fishbrook Pond, and capped it off with the ascent to the Sleeping Beauty summit. Long day, strenuous, but very soothing to the soul.

A great hike for beginners with a summit that offers a spectacular view of lake George. The complete loop around bumps pond is absolutely gorgeous during the fall. Be sure to dress on layers if you're planning on going to the summit as it gets windy.
