Went in December, maybe in the fall this place is great. Confusing trail and an inaccurate map make this more of pain than it needs to be. Make sure you bring hiking shoes.
Mount Jo is a great way to get your feet wet (figuratively speaking) in the High Peaks region. It's not a strenuous hike at all--something most can do--and it's got a great view at the top. Choose an off day to visit though. It's popular, but that popularity means that it can get a bit crowded. Still, it's always a fun jaunt.
Pretty steep and rocky climb. Made it to the summit and it was worth the exertion. The veiw of Heart Lake and the Adirondac Mountains was really beautiful. Our 12 year old Coonhound was a better climber than I was (45)!! There were many people of all ages enjoying the hike.
It was steeper than we expected and extremely rocky. Really great views at the top that make it worthwhile.
The trail is well marked and there is water, maps ,bathrooms at the trail head. There are guided hikes available
for groups of 4 or more. Great experience
This is a great place for a quick but rugged hike to the top of Mt. Jo. I believe it was a climb of about 800 feet in a trail only about a mile long. Kids loved it, nice summit for exploring.
