Description: Hurricane is one of two mountains within the Ausable River watershed that has a fire tower on the summit, making this an historically improtant summit. The trail from 9N was recently rebuilt by the Adirondack Mountain Club's Professional Trail Crew. It now avoids many wet areas, is a gentler grade, and has several lookout points that make good resting spots. The summit is open and rocky with great views of the High Peaks and Champlain Valley.
