It is located in the town of [[Keene, New York|Keene]] in [[Essex County, New York|Essex County]]. The mountain is named due to the resemblance of its three arched peaks and large rock slides to [[Gothic architecture]].{{sfn|Carson|1927|p=118}} Although the name has been attributed to [[Orson Schofield Phelps]] and Frederick W.

| The ADK Range Trail crosses the summit of Gothics, and can be reached from several other trails which intersect with it. The most direct route is on the Orebed Brook Trail, which begins at John Brook Lodge and reaches a junction with the ADK Range Trail and State Range Trail at the col between Saddleback Mountain and Gothics. The total distance from Johns Brook Lodge to the summit is {{Convert|3.7|mi}}, for an elevation gain of {{Convert|2360|ft}}.{{sfn|Goodwin|2021|pp=46-47}} The mountain can also be approached from Lower Ausable Lake on two trails. The Beaver Meadow Trail, which begins at the Lake Road Trail, intersects the ADK Range Trail shortly before the summit, for a total distance of {{Convert|5.8|mi}} and {{Convert|3050|ft}} of ascent. The Pyramid-Gothics Trail reaches the summit by crossing over Pyramid Peak, one of the two lower peaks on the mountain. The top of Pyramid Peak offers additional views of the surrounding mountains. This route is {{Convert|6.6|mi}} and involves {{Convert|2870|ft}} of ascent. Both trails begin on a private game reserve, and dogs are not permitted.{{sfn|Goodwin|2021|pp=80-82}} The mountain can also be climbed as part of a hike of the entire Great Range, following the ADK Range Trail and other trails.{{sfn|Goodwin|2021|pp=52-53}} | The ADK Range Trail crosses the summit of Gothics, and can be reached from several other trails which intersect with it.
