Third day of my 2022 Independence Day trip. The theme of this trip so far had been rocks, so for this last day I would visit Palisades Interstate Park, hike its Giant Stairs trail before driving back home.
Second day of my 2022 Independence Day trip, I spent the day hiking Breakneck Ridge, a popular hiking route on the Hudson River, with probably the best scrambling sections in the region.
For 2022's Independence Day, I made a 3-day trip to the Hudson Valley area of New York State for some outdoor activities. Weather was great and I had a good time among New Yorks' diverse landscape, a fresh departure from the Blue Ridge Mountains in my backyards.
