Great Saw Mill River Cleanup 2016 – Farragut Avenue, Hastings

This was my first time volunteering at the Great Saw Mill River Cleanup, organized by Groundwork Hudson Valley.

Each year’s cleanup event takes place at 8-10 different locations along the Saw Mill River. This year I chose the Farragut Avenue location in Hastings.

I learned how Oriental bittersweet and porcelainberry vines threaten local trees by depriving them of sunlight and nutrients, and in some cases even strangling them to death. I helped clear said vines from jeopardizing about 30 trees along the Farragut Ave portion of the river.

The Irvington Woods – Hermit’s Grave, Macy’s Monument, Irvington Reservoir

After a long break, I returned to one of my favorite hikes: The Irvington Woods. The park packs in reservoirs, ponds, wetlands, Hermit’s Grave, rock outcrops, overlooks, monuments, carriage trails, and plenty of elevation change. My route linked the blue, red, yellow, and purple loops, passing Hermit’s Wetland, Macy’s Monument and Terrace, Sunset Rock, Irvington Reservoir, Marshall’s Pond, and Ice Pond. It was a beautiful, varied 5.8-mile hike through grasses, pines, open trails, water views, steady climbs, and sunny mid-70s spring weather overall.

Harriman State Park – Breakneck Mountain, Lake Wanosink, Pine Meadow Lake

My third visit to the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center was just as wonderful as the first two. The AMC-run center has tent sites, cabins, a dining hall, shared bathrooms and showers, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and easy access to Harriman State Park trails. Four of us spent the afternoon hiking past Breakneck Mountain and Tuxedo Rock, with beautiful stops overlooking Lake Wanosink and Pine Meadow Lake before following carriage paths back to our cabin. It was a perfect mix of camp, trail, water, good company, and mountain views.

Caleb’s Peak – Appalachian Trail, Kent CT, Club Getaway

I led a group of guests from Club Getaway on an off-site excursion up a small portion of the Appalachian Trail to Caleb's Peak, overlooking the Kent, CT mountains and valleys. I'd consider this slightly above a beginner hike because the majority of the trail is uphill/downhill. I used my trekking poles to reduce the strain on my knees. It's well worth the view once reaching the summit.
