Mount Marcy, Mountain summit in Keene, US
Mount Marcy rises to 5,344 feet, marking the highest elevation point in New York State with its granite peak and alpine vegetation zones.
In 1901, Theodore Roosevelt received news of President McKinley's condition while at the summit, leading to his immediate descent for the presidential succession.
The mountain holds significance in Native American heritage as Tahawus, meaning 'cloud splitter' in the Algonquin language of the Mohawk people.
The Van Hoevenberg Trail extends 7.4 miles from Adirondack Loj to the summit, requiring sturdy footwear and adequate water supplies for the journey.
The summit presents views of 43 surrounding high peaks and offers glimpses of Montreal's Mount Royal, located 65 miles north across the Canadian border.
