Phelps Mountain
Phelps Mountain is the 32nd highest peak in the Adirondacks. Phelps can be found east of Marcy Dam and north of Mount Marcy. Resting in the heart of the High Peaks Wilderness Area it boasts some of the best views in the park.
The hike starts from Heart Lake and follows a highly used trail that leads to Marcy Dam. Marcy Damoffer outstanding view of the High Peaks and Avalanche Pass. From this point the hike continues to follow the Mt. Marcy Trail before heading east on the Phelps Mountain Trail at a junction 1.0 miles from Marcy Dam.
The Phelps Mountain Trail is quite steep and at times feels very arduous. You will have outstanding views as you approach 4000’ feet in elevation. Don’t stop at the viewing rock, this is not the true summit; the summit is located through the trees and at a large viewing shelf. Breathtaking views of Mount Marcy, The MacIntyre’s, Mount Colden, and Mount Haystack and beyond are waiting for you here.
Elevation: 4161‘ Ascent: 2010
