Mount Colden is the eleventh highest peak in the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA.The peak is named after David S. Colden, an investor in the McIntyre Iron Works, in 1836. The peak was briefly renamed "Mount McMartin" the next year, but the older name persisted. The mountain is known for its distinctive Trap Dike, a large crevice running up the center of the mountain, which can clearly be seen from Avalanche Lake.There are two maintained trails up Mount Colden.
