After my jaunt in the Adirondacks, I proposed to myself a few hiking New Year's Resolutions. Today would be the start of one of them. The goal here, is to visit each of the Scenic Hudson's 42 parks this calendar year.
Long View Park is the most northern of the Scenic Hudson parks. Located just south of the town of New Baltimore it provides a few miles of trails with some beautiful rural Hudson River scenery.
The park's land comes from an old farm. Many remnants remain like the old bright red barn that greets you at the trail head.
I picked up a park map and wandered on down towards the river passing a frozen pond. It was quite cold today, in the low 20s, with a stiff wind. I wasn't well prepared and remained quite cold the entire hour I was out. Still it was a cool place to visit and located only a few miles from work, I will visit more frequently.
Wow. All of the Scenic Hudson parks in a year? That will be tough. Good luck!
