Dix Mountain is a mountain in the Dix Range of the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. With an elevation of 4,857 feet (1,480 m), it is the sixth highest peak in New York and one of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. It is located roughly on the boundary between the towns of North Hudson and Keene in Essex County, and in the High Peaks Wilderness Area of Adirondack Park. The crest of the peak consists of a very narrow ridge, which continues to the southeast and rises to a subsidiary peak named Beckhorn, then continues south to other peaks of the Dix Range. The summit is also in an alpine zone above the treeline. The ridge offers unobstructed views of Elk Lake to the southwest, the Great Range to the northwest, and Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains to the east.
The mountain was reportedly first climbed in 1807 by a man named Rykert in the course of surveying the town line. The peak was given its current name by state geologist Ebenezer Emmons, who named it in 1837 after John Adams Dix, who was the Secretary of State of New York at the time, and later became the state's governor.
There's a hiking trail (T2) called Dix Trail leading to the summit. Dix Mountain is one of the 2 peaks along the Dix Trail.
