    Hiking Indian Head

    Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday weekend! It really is still summer because the weather here has been quite hot and amazing. Yesterday, Christine and I wanted to do an easy hike so we decided on Indian Head, a spot in the high peaks that is not a high peak but has an amazing view. We left Albany at 7:30 and drove up to the Ausable Club Parkin lot in Keene since that’s where the trail for Indian Head starts. The hike begins at the AMR gate (like many of the other hikes I’ve done). The hike itself is mostly just a dirt road walk. It wasn’t too exciting.…

    Black Mountain Firetower

    Looking for a nice, easy hike not too far from the Capital Region? Look no further! Yesterday Jona and I hiked Black Mountain, a hike not too far from Lake George.

    Spring in Albany

    After enduring months of cold weather, today finally felt like Springtime. I took a long walk to Washington Park and Center Square and snapped some photos. Spring! Tulips! Sunshine! Happiness! A few days before Tulipfest is the best time to see the tulips. All the beauty without the crowds.

    Snowshoeing at Five Rivers

    Yesterday Christine and I went for a short snowshoe adventure at Five Rivers. We only had about 45 minutes of daylight to work with, but we did have a special bonus–the full moon! We even saw some deer munching on something under the snow. I didn’t get any pictures of them because they wouldn’t have come out, but it was pretty neat. We probably wandered around about a mile on the trails. It was fun!
