Mount Redfield

Mount Redfield is a mountain in the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. It is the 15th-highest peak in New York, with an elevation of 4,606 feet (1,404 m), and one of the 46 High Peaks in Adirondack Park. It is located in the town of Keene in Essex County, near Cliff Mountain^[5] and Mount Skylight.^[4] Surveyor Verplanck Colvin named the mountain after William C. Redfield, organizer and member of an expedition to Mount Marcy in 1837, and the first to guess that Marcy was the highest peak in the Adirondacks, and therefore in New York.^[4] The earliest recorded ascent was made in 1894 by mountain guide Ed Phelps and a guest whose name has not been recorded.^[4]
