Macomb Mountain, a 4,405-foot peak in New York’s Adirondacks, is the twenty-first-highest Adirondack High Peak and the group’s southeasternmost summit, rising in North Hudson. Named for Alexander Macomb, whose 1814 victory at Plattsburgh brought national fame, the mountain was in print by 1842. Its earliest recorded ascent came in 1872, when guide Mel Trumbull and artist Arthur H. Wyant reached the top. A large slide on its western face is its most distinctive feature, enlarged by hurricanes in 1947, 1950, and 2011. That scar helps define the usual ascent route and connects Macomb Mountain to traverses of the broader Dix Range.
