"Came in through the calamity trail and up the backside of Algonquin to Iroquois. We then bushwhacked down around Shepherds Tooth to trail below Marshall. From Marshall we went back down and out the Flowered Lands. Beautiful day in the 60’s. Hiked this with a very sore ankle. " — bbergman • Sep 12, 2020

"Big loop hike to some of the quieter 46er peaks. Had most of the day to myself on this busy holiday weekend! It helps to start well before sunrise and spend all day deep in the woods. ;) " — wacbravo • Oct 12, 2019

"Today I finish my biggest challenge of them all ,, The ADK 46ers on Mount Marshall in the beautiful Adirondacks with great company Su Run. Amazing day on the muddy trails of this treed summit that did offer some limited views from its summit, Celebrated the loss of an amazing friend by continuing on a journey he had started a few years back climbing 46 high peaks, " — ramjet1963 • Sep 15, 2019

"Almost a year ago on the same month, we tried to do Mt Marshall. We had camp at Flowed lands. The weather was rainy and we decided not to do it. We wanted to have a view.I am sure glad we waited. We knew this was going to be a long hike, so Saturday night we stayed at a camping near the Upper works trail-head.This allowed us to start early without having the 3 hours drive from Montreal.We decided to go up by Cold Brook so we could see the plane wreckage. Going up that trail was not easy, it is not well maintained and very muddy. It took us over 3 hours from the base to get there. After seeing the plane we crossed over to Mount Marshall.Going back down Herbert Brook proved to be more enjoyable. The trail is way better and it is beautiful. We started the hike at 7h30am and got back to the car at 7h30pm!  Very tired but proud of ourselves.This so far has been our longest day hike." — CPaquin • Aug 25, 2019

"We did the loop (up Cold Brook to see the plan crash and down Herbert brook). Cold Brook trail is overgrown, but you get to see Iroquois and its Shepard's tooth. Herbert brook is nice. Summit in the trees but you still get a few nice views of Santanoni, Panther on one side, and Colden, Marcy, Skylight, Redfield and Allen on the other side." — hiking-Brigitte • Aug 25, 2019

"Tom. Black and I left the Upper Works lot at 6 am @ 64 degrees and clouds. Trail foggy and muddy due to over night rains. Made summit at 10:30 am. Trail followed Herbert Brook with beautiful water falls all the way. Summit is treed with no views. Stopped for 20 minutes to cool our feet in the brook on the way out. Arrived at car at 2:30 pm. Blue skies and nice breeze on the way out. 14 miles rt. Great hike." — garyogden • Jun 2, 2018

"Hiker with my sister Kellie. This summit would be number 41 of 46 towards her goal of becoming an ADK46er. We started early around 8am from upper works. It was snowing and would continue to snow all day long only stopping when we got on the northway heading home. Neither of us had hiked from Upper Works before (I had completed Marshall from the Loj via Avalanche Pass on my 46er quest). We were the only tracks after the turnoff for Indian Pass, so we knew we would most likely be breaking trail all day. the trail conditions were deplorable since the fresh snow was just covering large mud puddles and ankle deep mud. The conditions would prove to be tough all day. We made decent time to the flowed lands after a quick stop to check out the Henderson Memorial. After that it was smooth sailing to the start of the Herbert Brook Herd Path. This herd path was really tough, nobody had been up there since the snow, so we didn't get the benefit of following someone's tracks. The snow was really deep, up to the knees in most places, and we were on and off the true herd path on the way up since it was hard to follow. We eventually made the summit since we made it before our agreed upon turnaroun..." — LGH-Tom • Dec 23, 2016

"Hiked with my brother Tommy. Picked him up at 0500, and due to snowy road conditions up north, wound up beginning our hike at 0800. The lower parts of the trail had a decent showing of fresh powder, which was unfortunately a fantastic cover for still-there mud pits that we slammed through for many miles. The wooden suspension bridge we had to cross is in terrible condition with a terrifying lean to it and we enjoyed laughing at eachother trying to hold tight to get to the other side! We reached the Henderson Memorial around 0900, and continued along the blue marked trail to the Flowed Lands. We spooked a group of four men in the lean to area there who were sweeping before they left for the morning. It snowed all day long, so unfortunately we didn't have much of a view in this spot, but the water starting to freeze over was really cool looking. We hung a left at the second register after signing in, and had no trouble seeing the cairn marking the herd path though it was under quite a bit of snow. After a slight ascent, snowshoes were necessary, with powdery snow being maybe calf deep. Locating the proper crossings over Herbert Brook proved to be highly annoying, we did uncover some..." — kellieirene • Dec 23, 2016

"Deb and I enjoyed this one, the well defined herd path, all the vegetation, following up the slabs of Herb Brook. Great weather, great hike. Views at the top aren't much but other things made the difference." — hbotc • Sep 3, 2016

"Now I'm starting to push pretty hard to finish my NE115. Hiked up to Marshall. Tricky time following the herd path up since there were several brook crossings and the herd path on the snow was faint at times. Eventually reached the summit. Socked in by clouds. Headed back to my car in Upper Works and spent the night there." — newenglandwarrior • May 5, 2016
