Balm of Gilead Mountain ...
Looking at it from the shore of the 13th Lake in the Adirondacks. I had wanted to climb it, but I was confused about how you access it (from Old Farm Road Trailhead), but my map from DEC didn't show that correctly.
Taken on Friday April 22, 2011 at Thirteenth Lake.
More about Thirteenth Lake...
Two-mile long Thirteenth Lake is west of the North Creek and North River area and lies at the edge of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area. Most of the shoreline is state land – there is a little development at its eastern shore. From NY Route 28 in North River, take Thirteenth Lake Road for 3.5 miles, and turn right on a dirt road to the parking area. One does have to carry or wheel their canoe or kayak 150 yards along a smooth wide trail to the water’s edge passing by primitive campsites, outhouses, and a picnic area. The put-in is to the left of the register.
