Harriman Rain Walk
After volunteering for the Northface endurance run, I met up with my friend Caroline and her dog Jackson for a walk in the rain. The Hudson Valley has been so dry recently, the rain was a welcome sight.
We met up at the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center. Because of the rain, the center was not open. Apparently on a typical day, they sell hot dogs and other treats.
I had never been to this part of the park before, so we just did a few out and backs on the trails near by. Spring is further advanced here than the Catskill region. Most of the trees were quite green. The many streams a brooks were raging due to the recent rains. This time of year makes for an exciting time to go for a walk in the woods. The trees are coming to life. It's a wonderful thing.
