  • Giant Mountain, also known as Giant of the Valley, is a mountain in the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. It is the twelfth-highest peak in New York, with an elevation of 4,626 feet (1,410 m), and one of the 46 High Peaks. It is located in the Giant Mountain Wilderness Area in the town of Keene in Essex County                  The mountain is named for its towering appearance from the nearby Pleasant Valley to the east, which sits at a low elevation. On 2 June 1797, Charles Brodhead and his survey party made the first recorded ascent of Giant Mountain while surveying the boundaries of the Old Military Tract. Broadhead's was the first recorded ascent of any of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks.
