Traveled to the Adirondacks for a marathon a week ago, so naturally I had to summit one of the 46ers. Due to race recovery and weather conditions, Grandma and I chose Giant Mountain. Trailhead is 5.6 miles on 73 W from the Rt 9 intersection (near Chapel pond). 3.7 miles to the summit- 4625' ish. quite a hike in wet conditions. Reminiscent of SW Maine; rockslab trails to slide down most of the way. Unfortunately, no view from atop, but loaded up on red blood cells just the same - to feed the worms.
