Palisades Hike, Sunday, March 7,2004 From the Alpine parking area along the top to the State Line (NY/NJ) Boundary Marker; down steeply to the bottom of Peanut Falls; along the shore of the Hudson River over the rocks of Giant's Staircase -- sometimes just a few feet above the water -- sometimes up on the steep slope; back to the top up the steep path with its stairs; and finally the castle-like monument to the Federation of Woman's Clubs. A relatively short but interesting trip only 10 miles north of NYC. |
Sam's Point Preserve, Sunday, April 4,2004 ... map and 2 pictures of the falls The Ice Caves were too full of ice to be able to enter them but it's a beautiful area and we hiked on top of the 2000 ft high ridge to Vekeerderkill Falls and through the unique dwarf pine forest. A beautiful day and we should plan a trip there later in the Spring -- maybe in June when the ice caves are passible. |
