Looking for a bit of a challenge? If your answer is a heck yes, then you'll want to add Mount Marcy to your must-hike list.

But be warned - Mount Marcy is a challenging hike that should only be attempted by experienced (and well-prepared!) hikers.

At 5,344 feet, Mount Marcy sits at the highest elevation in New York State. As the tallest mountain in New York, Mt Marcy offers some of the best mountain views on the east coast. However, the hike to the summit is no easy feat, and conquering this Adirondack High Peak is an all day affair!

The shortest route to the summit is 7.4 miles (one way) and starts at the Adirondack Loj parking lot. From the trailhead, the the hike begins relatively easy as it approaches the former Marcy Dam. From there, it ascends over varied terrain up to the bald summit, where you're rewarded with 360-degree views of the Adirondack wilderness.

NOTE: Mount Marcy is home to fragile and endangered alpine vegetation. Only walk on open rock and designated paths at all times.
