This was an overnight trip in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks. Although I intended to do more I ended up only going to summit of Haystack Mountain before hiking out.
There used to be a lean to at 4 corners. Always fantasized about staying there. Climbed Marcy-Skylight from Avalanche Lake- Lake Tear many times. Back down Van Hoevenberg trail. Climbed Haystack once as part of a 4 mountain hike (Gothics, Saddleback, Basin, Haystack) of upper Great Range. View from Haystack is spectacular.
The parts that require a bit of scrambling probably not unless the fog lives rock climbing (or you can carry the dog through those parts. Up to the point where the trail branches off to Marcy should be okay for a dog. Good luck.
I did Haystack back on October 25th 2023 the day I did my 21 hour hike in the Adirondacks Haystack was the 4th High Peak I did that day and Haystack alongside Redfield Gray Peak and Skylight were the 4 High Peaks I did in the hike and it was my 1st ever quadruple mountain hike
Really enjoyed the music section felt like I was really there!

Do you think this is a dog friendly hike ? Thanks
