When to Adirondacks Loj/Marcy Dam and hiked Mt. Phelps. Definitely a challenging but doable hike. The first 3 to 4 miles is relatively flat. Once you get to the last mile and begin the ascent of Mt. Phelps will become tiring. The views on top are spectacular. You can see Mt. Marcy and Mt. Colden in front of you.
Nice hike with well marked trail.
Parking is a PIA. The Adk Log parking is very popular so we parked about 1 mile up the road and walked to trail head inAdk Loj basecamp.
Pretty easy trail with minimal climbing. Took us 1 hr 40 min to get to Dam. Another 1.5 to get back. We are not routine hikers so if you are you could easily make much better time.
