Lower Wolf Jaw (Winter): Adirondack High Peaks, near Lake Placid, NY

Lower Wolf Jaw is either the first or the last 46er you hit along the Great Range, depending on your hiking route. At 4175 feet, it is the13th highest peak in the Adirondacks. The summit is tree covered, however there are a few side spots with nice views.
The peak or better yet, the pair of peaks (Lower & Upper Wolf Jaw) were named in sometime between 1869-72 when Alexander Wyant (a well-known artist of the time), painted the peaks and noted that the col between the two peaks looked like a huge pair of Wolf Jaws.
Come along this week and meet our buddy, Bird, and watch some of the antics as we try to get to the top of LWJ during the winter!
