Anybody have some easy hikes with great views to recommend?  A couple of weekends ago we hiked up bald Mountain near Inlet.  It was less than an hour to get to the fire tower on top.  Its nice easy walk along a pretty ridgeline.  One is rewarded with nice views of the Fulton Chain.  I took a snap shot (below) of Fourth Lake looking to the East.  The familiar ridgeline of Blue Mountain is visible in the distance.

Kaaterskill Falls Trail and Artist Rock are 2 of my favorite easy hikes. Both located in greene county. Artists rock, you can see both Connecticut and Massachusetts from the rock. I am actually hiking Artists Rock tomorrow.

Here are a few shots from an easy hike we've done, Chimney Bluffs State Park.   A bit west of Fairhaven on Lake Ontario.  Its a nice family hike and geologically very interesting.

I spent a lot summer days with my friends climbing around on Chimney Bluffs when I was a kid. Great adventure for a couple of 12 yr olds in a canoe, setting out from Sodus Point with a backpack full of bologna sandwiches and Oreo cookies for the day. Lots of cuts, scrapes, and bruises from what I remember. It wasn't even a State Park back then, so access was unlimited. After forty or so years, I might have to revisit.

 

Thanks for the photos, and the short trip in the way-back machine!
