A nice somewhat cooler summer day. 60 at elevation. Nice temperature to hang out at the summits for a while. I went up Giant first and then to Rocky Peak and then back to Giant. The Y to go to Rocky Peak is very close to the top of Giant. Great views of the Giant cliffs from Rocky Peak. Rocky Peak also has some good Lake Champlain views.
Giant is one of the better ADK hikes. Part of that is it is close to the road so no big hike in. Good views in many places on the way up. You can see a lot of the high peaks as you go up Giant. Dix, White Face, Marcy, Gothics, the Wolf Jaws, etc. There is also a nice pond on the way up.
