511. Saranac Sixers "Travelin' Light" Rocks 3

3. McKenzie

A little more than halfway to this summit on the standard route, but with far less than half of the effort required for the full climb, reach a 4-way junction where the east-west Jackrabbit X-C Trail crosses the main north-south trail. On the south side of this crossing is a sign telling you that it is 3.6 miles back to route 86 at Ray Brook or 2.1 mi back to Haystack Mtn. On the north side of the crossing is a good sitting boulder. Three or four steps north past this boulder is a tree with a brown sign featuring a yellow arrow and a red disk. If you look closely, you can also see, carved into the inner bark of this same tree with the sign, the letters "McKNZ Mtn" and an arrow pointing diagonally upwards to the left. At the front base of this tree, behind a large potato rock and under leaves, find a flattish 2-inch squarish white stone with my crude representation of Scottish "McKenzie" on its backside. Hope you've enjoyed these wonderful mountains!
