I have a few books and they dont specify where the trail head is for Phelps peak. I am staying at the loj in a few weeks saturday night and hiking phelps sunday, I am wondering where the best trail head will be for this.

Check out Adirondack Journey, Joel has a wealth of trail info. Phelps at ADK Journey
Otherwise, from the ADK Loj, follow the Van Hov past Marcy Dam, which will lead you to the trailhead for Phelps. The Phelps TH is about 1-mile past Marcy Dam, it's clearly marked. -
It's an 8 mile hike round trip, requiring a minimum of 5 1/2 - 6 hours, round trip comfortably. I hope that you have a friend who will be going with you, as any Winter Peak is dangerous alone."It is easier to become a Forty-Sixer than to be one.

Have you got the USGS Quad for the area?"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology.

It's a highway to Phelps on most fair weather days. If you get confused, just stand on the trail for 3 minutes and ask the next hiker that strolls by.

As long as it's not Neil. He's probably going in the wrong direction and is too stubborn to admit it. He probably thinks he's headed up Allen!!Originally posted by KevinIt's a highway to Phelps on most fair weather days.
