This would be my first hike in the Hudson Valley since summer. Originally I planned to go to Brace Mt on Christmas Eve, but the weather did not cooperate. With all the rain and clouds, the Plattekill would make a great stop.
I got off to an early start since family would be at my mother's place for dinner. With the warm weather, there were no signs of snow. The Plattekill was higher than I believe any time that I've been here. This takes away from some of its beauty. Still the waterfalls here are an awesome sight.
Due to time, I stopped at the double falls, which are also called Honolulu Falls. This is a beautiful spot. Many turn around here since the going gets tough from here. It's also a great swim hole.
My next stop would be Ferncliff Forest, since the sun came out and there would be some views. I forgot about the draining of the pond. I'm not sure if they are relocating it or not. Time will tell.
