Adirondack Mountains
Mount Marcy from
Mount Haystack .
The Adirondack Mountains are sometimes considered part of the
Appalachians but, geologically speaking, are a southern extension of the
Laurentian Mountains of
Canada . The Adirondacks do not form a connected range, but are an eroded dome consisting of over one hundred summits, ranging from under 1,200 feet (366 m) to over 5,000 feet (1,524 m) in altitude.
The highest of the Adirondack mountains are listed in the
Adirondack High Peaks . Other mountains in the Adirondacks include:
Catskills
Slide Mountain
The Catskills, which lie northwest of
New York City and southwest of
Albany , are a mature
dissected plateau , an uplift region that was subsequently eroded into sharp relief. They are an eastward continuation of the
Allegheny Plateau . They are sometimes considered an extension of the
Appalachian Mountains , but are not geologically related.
