The GPS ignores this text when loading. These waypoints were taken during a climb of Mt.Marcy on 27 September, 2001. The trailhead is near Adirondak Loj which is 4.8 miles south of state highway 73 near Lake Placid. There is a $7.00 day use fee to park at the trailhead. The trail is the Van Hoevenberg trail which goes 7.4 miles southeast to the summit passing Marcy Dam on the way. The junctions (marked JCT) are all signed and the trail is marked with blue disks on the trees so the route is straight forward. This file may be useful if attempting the peak in winter and storm conditions make route finding difficult. At MARC06 at 3110 feet, go right on the hikers trail rather than use the ski trail which is not as good. The round-trip hiking time will be from 8 to 9 hours on this route for strong hikers. The $7.00 fee can be avoided by starting the hike at the South Meadows trailhead which is on a dirt road northeast of the Adirondak Loj. To reach the South Meadows trailhead drive south 3.9 miles from highway 73 and then turn left on a good dirt road and go about one mile to the campground and trailhead. This route is 0.7 miles longer to Marcy Dam on a good trail.
