About Mount Marcy

Mount Marcy is New York's highest point at 5,344 feet, located in the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness Area. This prominent summit offers spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and valleys and is the centerpiece of the famous ADK 46ers challenge. The peak attracts thousands of hikers annually and provides some of the finest mountain scenery in the Northeast.

History

Named after former New York Governor William L. Marcy in 1837, Mount Marcy was first climbed on August 5, 1837, by a party led by Ebenezer Emmons as part of the geological survey of New York. The mountain gained historical significance in 1901 when Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was hiking on Mount Marcy when he learned that President McKinley was dying; he rushed down the mountain to Buffalo where he was sworn in as president.
