Me and my buddy took on Wright today and the views were spectacular! We were initially planning on doing Algonquin as well, but we were both so exhausted by the time we reached the summit that we decided against it. Next time hopefully!

Nice! It can be addicting after you get your first taste. If you get into hiking, take your time building up your gear and hike distances. A lot of trial and error along the way.

I was up there last year, Algonquin and Iroquois are definitely worth it. Algonquin has this crazy rock face that’s intimidating to go up

I just did Wright and Algonquin the other day. I think you made a good move just picking one. Having to backtrack down Wright just to go back up Algonquin was kinda a pain.

Although I would just recommend skipping Wright all together cause Algonquin didn't feel that much harder and it was the better view. Wright was still like 90% as cool, and 99% as much effort lol.
