This picture was taken from the top of Mount Marcy, Adirondacks, NY, the second

highest peak

in the Eastern USA. It is a long but beautiful hike in the woods, until

the summit

which is bare from vegetation and offers an incredible view on the

surrounding

mountains.

The hike was 9 hours long, so make sure to plan enough

time if you are interested.

Highly recommended for mountain hikes lovers!

After hiking 5 hours to the top of Mt. Marcy, the view you get once you

arrive is a veritable reward. Surrounded by green mountains and valleys

until infinite goes, you are on top, and yet so small to the rest of the world.
