Rocky Peak Ridge is the twentieth highest peak in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Park of New York, USA. The name of the mountain is due to its geology, a rocky ridge to the east of the better known Giant Mountain. The long, bare ridge is unusual in the Adirondacks; it resulted from the last great forest fire in the region, in 1913.
