Rock Scrambling in the Mohonk Preserve


Kate and Neil on our hike up at Lake Minnewaska

My sister and I at the Culinary Institute

...my sister Kate and her husband, Neil are presently visiting from Alberta, Canada. They came to see NYC (well, and us of course) but find that they are having just as much fun 80 miles North....where John and I live, in High Falls. I've taken them to some of my favorite places...  the CIA (Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park); the walkway across the Hudson River, but my favorite is hiking in the Mohonk Preserve or Minnewaska State Park, both of which are literally in our back yard. They joined me with my regular Wednesday morning hiking group as we did the pleasant Beacon Hill/Lake Minnewaska loop, but the most fun was Thursday when we did the Labyrinth up at the Mohonk Mountain House.

 They really enjoyed rock scrambling and we are planning on doing Rock Rift - another hike and scramble tomorrow (Sunday).
