When you see this at 6am you think twice whether to proceed |
Twilight |
USGS marker and the A.T.'s white blaze |
A jet |
9/11 memorial |
It took about 20 minutes after sunrise that the sun finally popped out of clouds |
Nice gesture, but I'm pretty sure it's a bit off |
The sun's marvelous early light |
Over 2,000 miles of white blazes |
Shenandoah from below |
Wondering what the best place in Southern Dutchess would be to catch a sunrise, my friends suggested Shenandoah Mountain. The Appalachian Trail crosses Shenandoah just north of Fahnestock State Park.
A few backroads just off the Taconic State Parkway lead to the trailhead. Long Hill Road must be one of hundreds of dirt roads that cross the A.T. A nice little 5 minute walk leads to an outstanding view point. If it were not for the power lines and the sound of cars on the Taconic, you'd hardly know you were so close to civilization.
Nice sunrise pic. Your blog is looking good. Clean. Nice Layout.
