Moreau Park - Southwest Trails

We went hiking again and this time it was a little bit easier for the old man. We decided to try Moreau State Park again since it is so close to our home and because the trails are well marked and fairly easy. This trip we hiked for about three hours and the accent was about 1400 feet in the Southwest section of the park, whereas last week we were in the Northern section of the Park. Next trip we are going into the Adirondacks and try a 2000+ peak.

Same hiking partner leading the way in her "gear". She was wise to wear insect protector clothing because the mosquitoes were out in force. A couple carried me several yards when I stopped for a water break.

As I said the last time; I really appreciate the trails being marked so clearly. It makes it much harder for me to get lost, but even so we did get off the trail for a short while. Too busy talking maybe?

This is the Hudson River although it looks like a lake. It is however at the bend where after passing Glens Falls, it turns north again.

Another shot of the Hudson River with my hiking "Leader". She really blazes a fast trail! It is getting harder to keep up with her, but clearly that has nothing to do with my age!
