+ About this map
Mount Marcy stands at 5,344 feet in the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks, the highest point in New York State. Lake Tear of the Clouds, a small alpine pond on its southwestern flank, is the highest source of the Hudson River. The peak is the centerpiece of the 46 High Peaks that draw hikers working toward the Adirondack 46er list. The approach from any direction is long, with the most popular route from the Adirondak Loj covering over 14 miles round trip.
This map captures the rugged terrain of the High Peaks Wilderness. Marcy sits at the hub of several radiating ridgelines, each leading to neighboring summits like Haystack, Skylight, and Gray Peak. The contour lines reveal the deep notches between peaks, with Panther Gorge on the south side showing as an especially dramatic compression of elevation. The surrounding valleys hold some of the wildest and most remote terrain in the northeastern United States.
