Everything about Mount Skylight totally explained
Mount Skylight is a mountain in the
Great Range of the
Adirondack High Peaks in the
Adirondack Mountains of
New York. It gets its name from its open, bare and relatively flat summit, unusual in the Adirondack
High Peaks.
A remote summit by any approach, it's nonetheless a favorite of hikers. It is famously distinguished by two large
cairns that have grown on either end of the summit over the years, as
46er lore has it that carrying a rock up and placing it on them will ensure good weather.
A single trail goes up to the mountain's summit from the
Four Corners junction between Skylight and
Mount Marcy, its northern neighbor; as the name suggests, however, there are three ways to get there. Most commonly, hikers come up from the west, via the
Feldspar Brook Trail from the campsites at the
Flowed Lands and climb the peak in conjunction with a visit to Lake Tear-of-the-Clouds, the source of the
Hudson River, and a climb up neighboring, trailless
Gray Peak. The trailhead can also be reached by descending from Marcy to the north, or via Panther Gorge and Elk Lake to the southeast, all very lengthy trips that are usually done via an overnight
backpack.
