Hudson Highlands State Park, Westchester & Putnam Counties, NY
This day I hiked on the Camp Smith Trail, with temperatures in the 50s, which was much warmer than my prior visit in January 2012. My first visit had been a solo hike, and I had ascended the Camp Smith … Continue reading

Breakneck Ridge to South Beacon Mtn., Putnam/Dutchess County, NY
This was a repeat of my August 1, 2010 hike, except that this time instead of a solo outing I went with four other hikers. Also, instead of Summer it was a Spring (that felt more like a late Winter). … Continue reading

High Tor State Park, Rockland County, New York
Nachi suggested a short hike in High Tor State Park, and ten of us participated. It was not the prettiest of days, with gray skies and temperatures in the 40s, and obviously no green vegetation. Rather than starting the hike in … Continue reading
Sam's Point Preserve and Minnewaska State Park Preserve, Ulster County, New York
I met Martin and Lisa at Sam’s Point Preserve at 10:00 a.m. Our cars were the first ones in the parking lot at the Conservation Center, though we were immediately followed by another car carrying a couple not with our … Continue reading
Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park, Putnam County, New York
While this has been the second mild winter in a row, we did have snowfall on Friday night, and Fahnestock reopened its winter park. Suri, Greg and I decided to visit. I reminded them that two years earlier I had … Continue reading
Harriman State Park, Orange County, New York
I joined five hikers at Harriman, most of whom I had hiked with previously with the Jewish Outdoors Club. Whereas the week before, I had seen a lot of snow on my drive to the park, this Sunday I saw … Continue reading
Harriman State Park, Orange County, New York
New York City does not presently have any snow on the ground, but I thought that the parks that I frequent, being further to the north, might have snow. But how would I learn that? While weather reports can tell … Continue reading
Harriman State Park/Sterling Forest State Park, Orange County, New York
With a few variations, this was a repeat of my June 12, 2011 solo hike. I therefore did not take many photographs and will not offer much of a description, as I described the hike in my earlier post. This … Continue reading

Black Rock Forest, Orange County, New York
I went hiking with four friends, selecting the western part of Black Rock Forest, which I remembered featured a pretty waterfall. As I had been on these trails previously, almost two years earlier, I didn’t document the entire hike, and … Continue reading
Glacier National Park, Montana – August 21-22, 2012
Tuesday, late afternoon: Leaving the Avalanche Creek area, where I had enjoyed a hike to Avalanche Lake as well as a walk around the Trail of the Cedars, I resumed driving east on Going-to-the-Sun Road. 5:02 p.m.: I passed Triple … Continue reading
