Haystack, Marcy, Skylight, Gray via elk lake, 7/31/24
46!!!!!! I’ve been chipping away at this goal for a little over 6 years and it still feels surreal to be done. Honestly don’t know what to do with myself.
Camped in panther gorge, did the peaks on Saturday night. Cloudy wet and rainy all day so most of the peak pictures look more or less the same. Ironically it ended just about the same way it started, because I got clouded out on Colvin and Blake, too. Kinda funny. Lots of very lush very beautiful vegetation on the way in and out. Absolutely brutal hike (guesstimating a 30 mile weekend) but so incredibly worth it. I guess I’m going to have to find some new arbitrary hiking challenge to obsess over, but until then this page will be my unadulterated love letter to the Adirondacks.
