Also located in Garrison, Glenclyffe provided nice easy going trails along the river. The walk to Arden Point provided some great views of West Point, Taurus and some colorful buildings in Garrison. From here a pretty waterfall could be seen on the other side of the Hudson. You can watch that here.
I then took the trail that followed Benedict Arnold's escape route. It had the feel of an old road or carriage trail. Today it's fairly grown in and I highly doubt there was bamboo in Arnold's time.
Never been to this spot. Looks nice. Like the video.
ReplyDeleteThird pic is the best with West Point rising majestically through the trees. Also I love the history behind the Arnold escape route-especially Revolutionary War history. It's the most fascinating era of U.S. History. Must have been eerie as you were walking it!
ReplyDeleteI agree. The Revolutionary period most definitely is the most fascinating era of American History. The Hudson Valley played its role.
