Cascade Mountain
Cascade Mountain is a mountain in the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. It is the 36th-highest of the Adirondack High Peaks, with an elevation of 4,098 feet (1,249 m). The mountain is located in the town of Keene in Essex County. Prior to 1860, the mountain was named "Long Pond Mountain" for a pond located at its base. Long Pond was divided by a landslide shortly after 1860, and the divided ponds were named "Edmund's Ponds" until 1878, when Sidney and Warren Weston built a hotel in between the two ponds. They renamed the ponds the "Cascade Lakes", after a waterfall flowing down the mountain in the path of the landslide, and Long Pond Mountain was renamed to Cascade Mountain. The earliest recorded ascent was made in 1872 by a trapper named Lon Pierce.
