We were down at Marcy Dam in no time - we spent a long time there, lazing about on a log next to Marcy Dam, soaking in the very warm late winter sun. Lots of little critters were out, presumably because spring was near!
So happy to be done the hike
The hike back from Marcy Dam was pleasant but uneventful. We had covered 15 and a half kilometres in about 6 hours, representing an overall average of 2.5km/hr - excellent, considering the two huge breaks we took. Total elevation gain, from trailhead to summit was about 2300 feet. Start elevation was about 2000 feet and Phelps' elevation is 4161 feet.
