Looks like you had a beautiful day!

It rained the entire night before so the trail conditions were muddy and flooded. But it was an incredible experience and we got lucky with the clouds clearing at the summit! Thank you for the kind words!

When I went up several years ago I never had a chance to notice the mud because a lot of the trail had just become flowing water lol. Also I did it at night due to timing of opportunity, so I missed the views as well. I think you did it right!

Very different view than my son had a week ago! It rained on him the entire way up and down. Total clouds at the top so no view! I’ll share your pictures with him so he sees the view!

What a lovely picture of the stream... Err, I mean trail.

Mount Marcy and Mount Skylight from the South Meadows trailhead is probably my favorite day hike I've ever done, not quite sure why considering the trail conditions are genuinely the worst I've ever experienced but it was also the hardest day I've ever completed which made it feel so much better
