Hikers flock to Mount Storm King for that signature shot, standing on a rocky outcropping above Lake Crescent. But it’s a grind to get there, and the climb to the summit can be dangerous in bad weather. Luckily, there are several outcroppings about halfway to the top offering similar views. It’s still a steep hike to get to them, but at least it’s shorter.
