Hiking Mount Marcy, New York's Highest Peak

If you thought New York only had hills, this post will change your mind.⁠⠀ ⛰️⁠⠀ After a cancelled honeymoon to Tanzania, my new husband and I decided to summit Mount Marcy, the highest mountain in New York State at 5,344′.⁠⠀ 😮⁠⠀ While that height might pale in comparison to Mount Kilimanjaro, this hike was no joke — though luckily there were plenty of gorgeous viewpoints along the way.⁠⠀ 🎉⁠⠀ And after an hour of scrambling on my hands and knees over giant rocks, I reached one of the most beautiful summits I’d ever seen.⁠⠀ 😍⁠⠀ Watch this video to see highlights from the hike, including 360-views of the Adirondacks High Peaks from the top! #BeyondTheGuidebook⁠⠀ ____⁠⠀ *⁠⠀ *⁠⠀ *⁠⠀ #mountmarcy @adirondacks_ny #Adirondacks #AdirondacksNY #ADKLife #hiking👣 #letsgohiking #hikingisfun #ilovehiking #wheretohike #besthiking ⁠⠀
