Great video. Good for you. My favorite mountain of all time. I climbed it 6 times in my teens and early 20's. 30 years later I climbed it again. The overwhelming sensation was how big it is. (Wjhirteface felt the same when I drove up it 25 years after I last climbed it.) Looking down at the lakes (Avalanche and Colden), I felt like I was in an airplane. It was dark when I got down and my thighs hurt for two weeks. But it was worth it. The view up there is spectacular. Only other views for me that compare are Haystack and Noonmark. Gothics is pretty cool. I think for me the view from Marcy never got to me is because everything else seemed so small.
Algonquin is such a prominent mountain and imo the most memorable peak ive ever hiked

I did Marcy as a sunrise and was an absolutely incredible experience. Where did you drive from that morning?
I drove from my family's home in Chestertown!
