Nov 16, 2018 at 5:38 comment added Michael Stimson GDAL_Translate is part of the GDAL package, if you're on Windows you can download it from gisinternals.com/… (64 bit) - it's open source so there is no cost involved but the tools run in a CMD window, if you're comfortable with CMD then there's some very powerful tools for free! See more about GDAL_Translate gdal.org/gdal_translate.html. If you're not so comfortable with CMD then get QGIS which contains GDAL with a GUI for translate qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html

Nov 16, 2018 at 5:28 comment added Anke No, the above displayed are the only files available when downloading the data. How/Where do I use GDAL_Translate? Is this within ArcMap/Catalog? (my apologies, I'm still new to ArcGIS)
Nov 16, 2018 at 5:22 comment added Michael Stimson Is there also an info folder and arc.dir along with the grid folder? You can convert the adf file with GDAL_Translate if you're missing all the components, use the path to the hdr.adf as your input.. something like GDAL_Translate -of GTIFF C:\full\path\to\hdr.adf C:\full\path\to\your\output.tif will convert to a geotiff if ArcGIS refuses to open it.
