Marcy tomorrow
Need replies quick
Going to drive up tomorrow morning and hike Marcy, then drive home tomorrow night. Where to park? When to get there? Which trail to take? Going to be hiking with another fit hiker. Not experts, but up for a challenge if that's the best option. Thanks again for anyone's help! |

Haha! Seriously? So what do you know about your intended destination (Marcy) besides its name?
>Where to park? Not at the Loj because it'll be full since this is Labor Day Weekend (DEC Rangers are diverting people away from the Loj when its parking lot is full). The Garden is likely to be full as well. >When to get there? Last weekend ... and early. >Which trail to take? Any of the ones leading to its summit. I suggest you pick something else like Whiteface starting from the ASRC along the Marble Mountain Trail to the Wilmington Trail. https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#....3916!-73.8568

Thanks Trail Boss, I've printed out information for that hike just in case it's full. I'm hoping to get there plenty early. Appreciate your help.

Mohawk Chief - I appreciate you taking the time to read my post. What I was looking for was what I've generally found on this forum - good, nice people who want to help each other out. Unfortunately I don't get up there as often as I'd like to, and you can google and read all you want and it doesn't beat real hands on experience.

If you plan on going to Marcy from the Loj, you had best be there by 6 or even 530. I'm sure you have looked at a map or are printing one up to guide you to Marcy's summit. Monday should be a nice day. What trail were you planning on taking?

Good luck for Marcy but I think it'll be Whiteface (or anything else with roomy parking).

I, for one, spent days reading and planning every one of my hikes. I hiked all 46 without asking a single question. The planning is the best and the most fun part of any hikes. When someone asks, "Where to park? When to get there? Which trail to take?," that really irks me. I figure if a hiker is not willing to spend time for research, I sure won't spend my precious time replying. But if you have exhausted all of your outlets for answers, I will spend my time to offer you my best advice. It's all give and take, buddy! |

I had actually already planned a different hike, but that couldn't happen, so I had to change gears. I posted my question and then did a couple of hours of research, but since most of the time I receive positive, helpful responses, I figured it was worth posting. Ended up doing the hike and having a great time. Very sore today!

The early bird gets the parking spot ... and the peak! Well done!

Thanks for letting us know.

Nevertheless, I agree that when the OP shows that some effort has already been expended in researching a trip I am more inclined to respond. However, rather than jump on them I just ignore them and let someone else respond.
