Come to the small city of Wilmington, in the northern part of the state. You'll find that the fifth highest mountain in New York City offers its visitors quite a few ways to get to the top.

After parking at the top of the toll road, you have to decide which route to take to get to the top of Whiteface (by the way, this is one of the rare mountains that you can climb in this state in general).

There is also a historical staircase, consisting of both artificial and made from natural stone steps, not so long, but for many people this ascent may seem tedious.

There is no need to worry - this is not the only option that is offered for climbing up. After a major renovation since 2017, Whiteface Mountain will unveil its new elevator in a few days. The path will run through a tunnel that will take travelers inside the mountain - and an elevator will take them to the top.

One of the interesting innovations is that the elevator is now equipped with glass panels, which will allow passengers to see everything around them.

Perhaps in the state of New York there is no more such an elevator that can take you to a more romantic and beautiful destination than the top of Whiteface Mountains.
