Petersburgh, NY

Back in the Good Ole’ U S of A!

Not gonna lie, I was originally hoping to start my AT day hike this weekend but life and lack of energy caught up with me. After much debate I decided Tilly and I would hike closer to home and attempt one of the Taconic Crest hikes.

I was very grateful for the post on AllTrails that clued me into the hike being ACROSS the road because I almost set out to do a completely different hike!

Apart from finding the trail, it was highly enjoyable if perhaps underwhelming. The first half mile was a bit of a climb but the rest of the path was a very gradual ascent that ends in a loop around the snow hole. Since I did this hike in May, I did not expect to see any snow…and I was not surprised when all I saw was water in a hole.

A few views were visible along the way, however, and Tilly and I took our time enjoying a leisurely day on the trail.

Up Next: the first day hike of the AT?
