This was a beautiful weekend with perfect weather to combine camping and hiking with my wife Brigitte Doyon.
We arrived late Saturday at the South Meadows trail-head. We then headed pass the Marcy Dam and settled our tent. On that Saturday we took the rest of the day to go to Indian Falls lookout.
On Sunday morning, we started our hike around 7h30am to head to Mt Marcy. It was so beautiful, the view at the top is amazing.
The vegetation as we get near to the top reminded me of a hike we had done in the Parc de la Gaspesie for a mountain called "Mt Jacques Cartier".
I have to admit that I found this hike less difficult then our previous Rocky Peak ridge.
