Grand Opening of Mount Inez Trail

 Join Champlain Area Trails for the Grand Opening of Mount Inez Trail on Saturday, August 1.

Experience the inspiring legacy of Inez Milholland, renowned women’s suffrage advocate and beloved Lewis, New York resident, as we celebrate the Mount Inez Trail Grand Opening. Join us for a day filled with meaning and community spirit: hear from key speakers who played pivotal roles in the mountain renaming, enjoy a special musical performance by Meadowmount School of Music students, and set out on a guided hike to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Inez’s namesake peak. Light refreshments will be served as we come together to honor history, advocacy, and the enduring power of community.

  

This scenic trail is a challenging 3.22-mile round trip that rewards with a fantastic view of the majestic High Peaks and the dramatic, rocky ridgeline above the stunning Boquet Valley. The journey begins with a gentle ascent that eases you into the experience, then the trail steepens for the final mile, gaining 600 feet in elevation as you push toward the 1,566-foot summit.
