jeff on summit of skylight

august 14, 1987
besides my father and two brothers, we were joined by my cousins paul, chris, and donna on this trip. the hike began from adirondack loj and followed the van hoevenberg trail to the summit of mount marcy. flying ants were swarming all around that day, but did not take away much from the experience. next we went down the steep southern side of marcy to four corners and on up skylight. on the way up skylight we began hiking individually. i did not have my own water at the time and this made for an exhausting climb on what was a very warm day. on skylight i was able to get water and the hike became fun again. on the return to the loj i got my first glimpse of lake tear of the clouds. this was my first of many long distance day hikes.
