AUTUMN SPLENDOR IN UPSTATE NY

AUTUMN SPLENDOR IN UPSTATE NEW YORK

PANORAMIC VIEW

This is autumn at its best in the great northeast...made me want to break out in song "The hills are alive, with the sound of music"!! You get the picture! 
These are photos taken during Mom and my adventure to Thatcher Park on Columbus Day weekend, located just about an hour outside of Albany.  The weather was perfect for our jaunt, as we walked along the upper rim trail of what is known as the Helderberg Escarpment, where this photo was taken.  Then hiked down along the Indian Ladder trail which winds down, hugging the bottom of the ridge, in some places under a waterfall.  We ended our idyllic day trip with a picnic in the park.
