Blue Ridge Mountain is a summit in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York, in the Town of Benson and northwest of the hamlet of Upper Benson in Hamilton County. Its importance here lies less in a distinct recorded history than in its place within the broader Adirondack landscape, a region known for rugged terrain and forested peaks. Blue Ridge Mountain is best understood as one of the local summits that help define the scenery and physical character of the area around Benson.
