Upper Wolfjaw Mountain
Mountain in the United States
Upper Wolfjaw Mountain is a mountain in the Great Range of the Adirondack Mountains in the U.S. state of New York. It is the 29th-highest of the Adirondack High Peaks, with an elevation of 4,185 feet (1,276 m). It is located in the town of Keene in Essex County. Landscape artist Alexander Helwig Wyant named the mountain, in combination with neighboring Lower Wolfjaw Mountain, for their appearance in profile c. 1870. The first recorded ascent of the mountain was made on October 11, 1875, by surveyor Verplanck Colvin and trail guides Ed Phelps and Roderick L. McKenzie. Upper Wolfjaw Mountain is flanked to the southwest by Armstrong Mountain, and to the northeast by Lower Wolfjaw Mountain.
