Ryan Thorpe submitted the route (which overlaps with the Dix Range Traverse):

The Giant-Dix Traverse is a 25-mile point-to-point link up of six Adirondack high peaks: Rocky Peak Ridge, Giant, Dix, Hough, South Dix, and Macomb, as well as numerous smaller peaks.

Start at the Denny Creek trailhead (which is now at the big parking lot for Franklin Falls off the NF-5800), up the trail to Lake Melakway, continue on up to Upper Lake Melakwa to Melakwa Pass, then descend to Chair Peak Lake and then traverse (mostly off trail, though there is a faint boot path off and on) around to the ridge below Roosevelt Peak that traverses to Gem. From Gem follow the normal trail back down to Snow Lake and then up the ridge and down to Alpental.  About 12 miles TH-to-TH.
