Mount Marcy – Part 2

When I left off on my last post, we were at Indian Falls taking our first break on our way to the top of Mount Marcy.

I don’t have tons of pictures from the next mile and a half, because we were still below the tree line, and there weren’t a lot of scenic spots. Occasionally we would get a glimpse of the view to come through the trees.

It was another mile and a half before we truly started to move above the tree line, and began to get our first real tastes of the view!

 

 

But we were not there yet!

That’s where we’re going! The smaller hump is called “little Marcy” and then way up at the top is “big Marcy”!

Harry, my mom, and me in front of our destination!

Here is a close up of Mount Marcy!

And a little more cropped version. Our trail up would go over the rock face toward the right hand side of the photo and then up to the summit.

Here we go – after seven miles on the trail, we are at the last half mile to the summit!
