A few years ago I moved back to NY and fell back in love with the adks. I started taking the entire family on hikes and last year my son wanted to go on a backpacking trip for his 4th birthday. I took him on a 19 mile (3day) hike and camped out at a lean to on pharaoh lake and hiked the little mountain there. It was a huge success and my son is completely hooked. Constantly since then he has asked if he can do Marcy for his 5th birthday and we are planning on going mid-late July
The plan is not solid yet but I am thinking that we will take 3 days to hike it.
Day1: hike into Bushnell falls and try to grab a lean to there. Slant rock would probably be our fall back if the lean tos were full.
Day2: Marcy and back to the lean to.
Day3: Hike out
I havnt ever paid attention to these lean tos. What are the odds that I would get one on a saturday/sunday night.
Im hoping that we get quite a bit of downtime on this hike. I have never actually seen the falls at bushnell. Pictures look like we could play in the water and look for crayfish. Can anyone confirm this?
Any other comments and suggestions are welcome. This is an activity that my son loves and I want to give him a great trip for his birthday.
