'''Hurricane Mountain''' is a {{convert|3688|ft|m|-tall|adj=mid}} mountain near [[Keene, New York|Keene]] in the north of the [[Adirondack High Peaks|High Peaks]] region of the [[Adirondacks]] in [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. It is considered to boast some of the most impressive views of any of the lesser peaks; this is due to its [[topographic prominence|prominence]], and because its summit was cleared by [[Verplanck Colvin]] in the course of his early survey of the Adirondacks.<ref>Goodwin, Tony, ed., ''Adirondack Trails, High Peaks Region'', Lake George, New York: [[Adirondack Mountain Club]], 2004.  {{ISBN|1-931951-05-5}}</ref>  On a clear day, the length of [[Lake Champlain]] and the [[Green Mountains]] of [[Vermont]] are visible to the east, and many of the High Peaks can be seen to the south through the northwest. There is a disused [[fire tower]] on the top.

Atop the mountain is the [[Hurricane Mountain Fire Observation Station]], added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2007.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|2009a}}</ref>
