Description

If bouldering were popular in the 50's, this one would have come complete with waitresses on roller skates.

Less than half way up the mountain there's the "Narrows Vista Lookout" with the boulder smack dab in the middle like a diner table.

I honestly can't stand bouldering, but this thing is so fun and easy to get to that I highly suggest putting $10 in the bucket and driving up if you're in town (Lake George Village) for any reason.

It's also a perfect spot for a picnic; we often bring 20 feet of line and toddler harnesses / helmets as the 3rd class sides are a fun intro for kids (use your head). It's also walk-able on the road year round with strollers (~45 mins from the closed gate near the cemetery at the bottom of the Veterans Memorial Highway).

Just down the road a hundred feet is the Covid wall, although it's choss and I would avoid this completely any time the road is open.

Getting There

Update, June 26, 2020
The Veterans Memorial Highway will open to vehicle traffic on July 1st.
Avoid the road-cuts

You can also hike up using the Prospect Mountain Trailhead (starting in the village) and via the pedestrian bridge over I87.
Hump about 40 minutes (with kids in your backpack) to get to the trail's first paved road crossing
Turn left on the road (down) for 1,000 feet and the Narrows Vista will be on your left.
