Highlights

  • Street Mountain is one of the ADK 46ers within the High Peaks of New York's Adirondack Park.
  • Highest peak in the Street Range of the Adirondack Mountains.
  • Street's northeast ridge is Nye Mountain, a sub-4000 foot peak that is included in the ADK 46ers for historical reasons.
  • Though many climbers complain that Street is viewless, there is a fine view from a ledge a little beyond the summit sign. Street's companion, Nye Mt., lacks views however. Albert B. Street, for whom the mountain is named, was New York State librarian for many years.

"I needed a calendar day, so Molly and I hiked Nye and Street. We got a ride in the morning to the ADK Loj, and we hiked up, hitting Nye first. Socked in today on both peaks. We came down and road walked back to South Meadows Rd. I now only have 1 calendar day left for July (which I will not get this year)." — newenglandwarrior • Jul 13, 2021
"Snowy trail, minimal ice. A few steep climbs, but overall pretty gradual. Wooded summit but peaks looking SW towards Algonquin on your way up. A good lookout at the summit, quick walk down SW." — gregoryskiba • Jan 9, 2021
"Visited the summits of Street and Nye with Tom and Kathryn to get peaks #40 and 41 toward her 46. Even better weather today than yesterday when we did the Seward range. Again numerous other hikers out on peaks that usually don’t end up on anybody “fun” list. Despite recent rains the key water crossing, Indian Pass Brook, was not a problem as there were plenty of rock hopping routes to cross. During our snack break at the junction of the two HPs two groups asked us if we had trouble with the main HP, nope, both had started in wee hour darkness in order to be on top at sunrise. They both struggled with the water crossing and re-finding the HP. With Fall leaf drop the HP is probably one of the easiest to lose in the 46. We enjoyed the peekaboo view from Street over to the MacIntyre range then better yet, despite the usual consensus, a rocky outcropping on Nye just below the summit allows for a grand view of the peaks." — Nimblefoot • Oct 4, 2020
"From adk loj, began before 6 to beat the heat and hopefully thunderstorms. Was an easy climb, bugs were swarming but not biting unless you stopped for too long. Went out to Street first then to Nye." — bbergman • Jun 20, 2020
"A nice pleasant overcast day to do two peaks that fall a bit short in terms of great views. The recent high water has receded quite a bit over the last couple of days yet one broad stream crossing was a little challenging but not terrible. A loop of Heart lake to finish the day. " — Nimblefoot • Oct 25, 2019
"Last-minute decision to hike Street and Nye. Original plan was to do the Seward Range but when I set up camp last night at Lake Harris I realized I had- in a sleepy post-work stupor- forgotten my hiking boots at home! Ended up driving an hour north first thing in the morning for a emergency pair of trail runners at The Mountaineer in Keene, then headed up to the Loj for a closer and smaller hike. It ended up being too small of hike, though, so I added some additional walking and peakbagging. " — wacbravo • Aug 24, 2019
"Wow, What a climb with buddy and fellow 46er Matt Topgun Peacock for my 5th and 6th winter 46er climb,, Great light snowy day and great trail other then a little confusing to the elevating part of the climb but fresh snow there on so broke trail a lot of the way only to get to the summit junction after twenty five or more people passed us and bailed because they were quite frankly "lost" not knowing how to find the summits, "Street and Nye", GPS was our saviour and Mark Earle as our trail angel, A small party we spoke to at the junction took our word that we could get them there so by working together they followed us and shared in our glory summits,, enjoy!" — ramjet1963 • Feb 16, 2019
"Beautiful fall colors at the start and the beginnings of a snowstorm once I hit Street's summit. Perfect day, interesting hike, not a huge incline compared to other Adirondack peaks, but some of the most challenging terrain--I literally crossed a river! " — ionahraqs • Oct 16, 2018
"Hiked with Kim and her cousin Nick. Felt good to be back up in the Adirondacks after an extended layoff. I've been pretty lazy since completing the Northeast 115. Hiked street and nye in -15F temperatures even though it didn't feel that cold. The trails were really well packed down, so we ended up ditching our snowshoes after the second Indian Pass Brook crossing and picked them up on the way out. We didn't even wear microspikes at all during the day, the trails were packed that well and not icy. Overall, it was a pretty good day. " — LGH-Tom • Dec 30, 2017
"Hiked with Tom and my cousin Nick. It was a bitterly cold day in the Adirondacks, but in the end I was glad I decided to go up and hike. We had a good time and were happy that the trail was well packed down from previous traffic. We were able to bare boot the entire day. We saw about 16 other people out on the trails despite the cold weather. Two more peaks down towards my ADK 46ers. " — Kim-Stilson • Dec 30, 2017
