Helderberg Mountains

The Helderberg Mountains are a small mountain range located in eastern New York, primarily within Albany County. This range is part of the Appalachian Mountain system and features gently rolling hills, forested landscapes, and exposed limestone cliffs. The terrain is characterized by moderate slopes, with some steeper sections in the more rugged areas. The Helderberg escarpment, a prominent limestone formation, dominates the eastern portion of the range and provides scenic overlooks and hiking opportunities.
