'''Grace Peak''' is a mountain located in Essex County, New York. It is part of the Dix Range, named after John A. Dix (1798–1879), New York Secretary of State in 1837, and later Governor. The mountain was formerly called '''East Dix''', but in 2014 it was officially renamed Grace Peak in honor of Grace Hudowalski (1906–2004), who in 1937 became the ninth person and first woman to climb all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Figura |first1=David |date=2014-06-12 |url=http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2014/06/adirondack_mountain_renamed_after_first_woman_to_scale_all_46_high_peaks.html| title=Adirondack mountain renamed after first woman to scale all 46 High Peaks |website=syracuse.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714153230/http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2014/06/adirondack_mountain_renamed_after_first_woman_to_scale_all_46_high_peaks.html |archive-date=2014-07-14}}</ref> Grace Peak is flanked to the northeast by Spotted Mountain, and to the southwest by South Dix.
