Hello everyone, this is my first post on here and I wanted to know a little more about the McIntyre Range!
I just starting getting into hiking/backpacking and I'm planning on doing the McIntyre Range this weekend (well Algonquin, Iroquois, and Wright that is). We're staying at South Meadows and plan on getting an early start (6-7am) and want to take the loop by going down the Avalanche Pass to Lake Colden way first and then swinging back to hit Wright on the way back.
This is about 13 miles, correct? How is the level of difficulty compared to doing Marcy? Also, how long does this hike usually take (including some breaks and summit time of course)? I'm a little iffy on whether Algonquin or Iroquois comes first if you're going that way and I've heard that there isn't a definitive trail for Iroquois? Are there any landmarks or anything for it?
Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate the assistance.
