Want a Memorial Day weekend to remember? Come on a mountain adventure in the Adirondacks with us! And climb the tallest peak in New York State and an Adirondack 46er (peaks over 4,000 feet). We’ll ring in the unofficial start of summer with mountain climbing, games, and great company!
Get away from Memorial Day City crowds and join us on this beautiful adventure! Our journey will take us on a gorgeous hike of Mount Marcy. This mountain has a treeless summit with gorgeous, 360 views and a unique ecosystem of alpine tundra vegetation near the summit. For the first half of the day, it’s a steady, sometime steep climb, and it will feel anywhere between INTERMEDIATE and CHALLENGING, depending on your experience and conditions. But we plan to keep the pace very moderate, to allow for an enjoyable day. If you can do a Catskill 3500 mountain, you can do this trip! You will have to work for them, but the views at the top are absolutely fantastic and completely worth it! On a clear day, we will be able to see countless mountains in the High Peaks region.
When not hiking, we’ll spend our nights at the Adirondack Loj, relaxing and enjoying board games and great conversation.
Experience: Prior high peak (Catskill 3500’s or Adirondack 46ers) hiking experience strongly encouraged. Please contact us with any questions at info@adventureuntamed.com. We can help you put together a training plan!
This trip is rated INTERMEDIATE due to easier pace, but it may feel more challenging depending on conditions and experience, as well as due to the longer mileage. This trip has CHALLENGING terrain and elevation gain.
Accommodations: Shared (with our group) loft room at ADK Loj. Limited private rooms available for an extra $150 per night. Please email us at info@adventureuntamed.com with questions and requests.
Food: We will have lunch on the road the first day and the last day. Other than that, all meals are included.
Note: Our Memorial Day trips tend to sell out. Sign up as early as you can to secure a spot!Day 1 (May 24th)
We’ll depart at 7:00 am, stopping for lunch on the road. After arriving at the Loj we’ll go for a short warm-up hike. After a moderate scramble to the top, gorgeous views of the Adirondacks will open up right in front of us. That evening we’ll enjoy a tasty dinner and and get ready for our climb.
Day 2 (May 25th)
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll start the summit attempt of Marcy. We’ll take our time on the trail and make consistent, steady progress, admiring above-treeline and summit views. That night, we’ll relax in front of the fire after a delicious dinner.
Day 3 (May 26th)
After a good night’s rest, we’ll pack and relax for the leisurely drive back to New York City, stopping for lunch along the way. For those interested, we’ll do a short morning hike!
