Esther Mountain is a mountain located in Essex County, New York. The mountain is the northernmost of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains and its 28th highest peak. It was the only High Peak named for a woman until 2014,〔Grace Peak〕 having been named in honor of Esther McComb, who made the first recorded climb to the summit in 1839, at age 15; at the time she was attempting to climb Whiteface Mountain from the north (Whiteface is a higher mountain which flanks Esther to the south).〔Goodwin, Tony, ed., ''Adirondack Trails, High Peaks Region'', Lake George, New York: Adirondack Mountain Club, 2004, p. 155. ISBN 1-931951-05-5〕 Esther Mountain stands within the watershed of Lake Champlain, which drains into Canada's Richelieu River, the Saint Lawrence River, and into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The southeast side of Esther Mtn. drains into White Brook, thence into the West Branch of the Ausable River, which drains into Lake Champlain. The southwest and north sides of Esther Mountain drain into Frenchs Brook, thence into the Saranac River, and into Champlain. The Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway, which was opened in 1935, traverses the north and west sides of Esther on the way to the summit of Whiteface. == See also == * List of mountains in New York * Northeast 111 4,000-footers * * Adirondack Forty-sixers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Esther Mountain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
