fall weekends in new paltz (pt. 1)

I'm a little late to the game, and after years of going upstate, only recently "discovered" New Paltz. While I love the Catskills and Adirondacks, it doesn't always make sense to make the drive for short weekends. Fortunately New Paltz is just over two hours away, a reasonable drive for those weekends when you only have one free night to get away.





Our first trip to the park, there was incredibly dense fog that reminded me a little bit of the creepy (and beautiful, but in a different way) foggy night in coney island last year. (those are two giant turkey vultures perched on the tree below! talk about ominous...)


one of many carriage trails running through the park (open to bicyclists during warm months and cross-country skiers during the snow season)


wide-angle view of one of two swimming areas (this is the one closest to the parking lot)


one of the hiking trails (and she-ra!)
