Question: what type of mountains are the adirondacks?
Answer: Strictly speaking, neither the Adirondacks nor the Catskills and Poconos are part of the Appalachian Mountains, having much different origins. The Adirondack Mountains (/ædɪˈrɒndæk/) form a massif in northeastern New York, United States. Its boundaries correspond roughly to the boundaries of Adirondack Park.
