So many experiences packed into one day. We started out from our lean-to at Marcy Dam and headed up the main trail to Marcy for our first summit of the day. The views from Marcy were incredible and live up to their hype and the trail was easy going with a nice steep section of open rock perfect for a sprint to the top. After summiting Marcy, we headed to Mt. Skylight which had views just as epic as Marcy, though it was much more peaceful. For the trip back we hiked back to the dam on the trail at the junction between Skylight and Marcy passing by Lake Tear of the Clouds, on through beautiful marshes, and finally down through rocky rubble dropping us back off at our lean-to.
