Does anyone have any info on trails from the North or East on Giant Mountain, Adirondacks? Location, closest town, distance, etc.? Thanks for any input

Rocky Peak Ridge is highly recommended. Did this in the reverse direction two summers ago. Bring lots of water. Trip report <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/584230/A-Cautionary-Tale-of-Hiking-with-Your-Older-Dog-Rocky-Peak-Ridge-Traverse.html">here</a>.
