Hiking from the Lodge our first agenda was Basin and Saddleback. These two 4000+ footers offered an excellent hike. In spite of the trail length being only (only?!?) 9 miles it took us all day as the trails were massive steep up and crazy steep down. No real flat sections to speak of so going was naturally slow. In many instances a false step could be your last so caution marked our progress. That said the summit views were stellar. Here is a look from Basin looking west towards Mt. Marcy(center) with some other high peaks surrounding her. The heart of the park offers an amazing wilderness experience. Views for miles in all directions and very little in the way of civilization to be seen.
