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!
