- Mount Marcy is a 15 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Lake Placid, New York that features a river and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Mount Marcy peak is the highest point in New York state within the High Peaks Region. This is a challenging hike due to its length.
Starting on the Van Hoevenberg Trail from the Adirondack Loj or near Heart Lake, the trail is easy until you reach Marcy Dam. Once you have reached the dam, you begin climbing up rocky terrain, as the trail is mostly boulders, and this persists most of the way from there on.
Stop and take a rest by Phelps Brook and Indian Falls to take in some excellent views. You will want to refill water bottles here as there are no streams the rest of the way. The hiking gets harder as you get closer to the summit.
The last 1.2 miles is the toughest climb of the hike and the last push is bedrock that feels steeper than it is. However, the payoff from the Mount Marcy Summit is a fantastic view of the Adirondack high peaks, Mont Royal in Montreal, Canada, and the Green Mountains in Vermont all from the highest peak in the state.
This is a popular route within the Adirondack Mountains is heavily traveled, well maintained, and very well marked, however it can be rough on weak ankles. Hiking boots with good ankle support are recommended.
You caught Marcy beautifully! I've been there twice.
Thank you! I did get lucky on the weather! Just beautiful that day. Wanna go back and do a sunrise or sunset just amazing up on top! Thank you for watching! 🥾⛰️
Amazing ! Please tell me what month was this in ? And also me and a friend are going to trek Marcy
The weekend of March 4th I pray the snow isn’t too much and the weather is good
This hike was done in January. Probably one of the hardest months to do Mt Marcy because it is so cold. You definitely have to have the gear and be prepared to do a hike like this in the winter. March you could have still a decent amount of snow up there you never know in upstate New York lol But that being said I hope the best for you on your hike and if you have any questions just let me know! Be safe happy hiking! 🥾 ⛰️
@@exploringwithdan7876 I hope it's good in march , I think it would be better then when you went in January . I will doing a Video log on my adventure as well can't wait! :)
Awesome man! Can’t wait to see!
@@exploringwithdan7876 Hey Danny you wore the Snow Shoes with the crampons all the way to summit right ? because I just exchanged some ice spikes for Snow shoes because the fact there might be multiple feet of snow when I go , let me know thanks brother! 🙏
Yes I did have the snowshoes all the way up to the summit of Mount Marcy. I have the MSR Evo ascents with the bars on them perfect for this hike in the winter! I highly recommend the snowshoes with the bars you never know how much snow and ice are up there. I hope this helped! 🥾⛰️
