Mount Marcy
Mount Marcy is the highest peak in New York State and the crown jewel of the Adirondacks' famed '46 High Peaks.' Known to the Mohawk as Tahawus, roughly 'cloud-splitter,' its summit offers views of dozens of surrounding peaks on a clear day. It is also the source of the Hudson River's most remote headwaters, feeding the tiny alpine tarn Lake Tear of the Clouds just below the summit.
