Climbing the Street and Nye Mountain Trail
From the Adirondak Loj at Heart Lake near Lake Placid, Street is a trailless peak reached across Indian Pass Brook, which must be forded, then up a muddy herd path. The crossing can be tricky in high water. It is usually combined with Nye Mountain on the same trip. The wooded summit has limited views, and the route is rooty and often wet. Navigation helps at junctions. Carry a map, wear grippy footwear for the crossing, and start early for the round trip.
