MacIntyre Mountains
Template:Short description Template:DMCA Template:DMCA Template:Infobox mountain The MacIntyre Mountains or MacIntyre Range is a range of mountains in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, due west of Mount Marcy, in northeastern New York State. The range runs 8 miles (13 km) from southwest to northeast. Its sheer southwest slope makes up one side of Indian Pass, and a northeastern spur forms the cliffs of Avalanche Pass. From southwest to northeast, the range includes Mount Marshall, Iroquois Peak, Boundary Peak, Algonquin Peak, and Wright Peak. Algonquin is the second-highest peak in the Adirondacks.[1]
Despite being spelled differently, the range is named for Archibald McIntyre, the founder of the McIntyre Iron Works at Tahawus, New York.[1] The name McIntyre originally referred only to Algonquin Peak, and was given to the mountain in 1837 by a party led by New York state geologist Ebenezer Emmons. Mountaineer Russell Carson applied the name to the entire range in his accounts.[2] The earliest recorded ascent on the range was made in 1797, when surveyor Charles Brodhead crossed Boundary Peak to mark the boundary of the Old Military Tract.[1][3]
