October 26, 2020We did this little trail in late October, prior to a hard freeze and the annual closure of the trail. The waterfalls were not flowing a ton, but pretty views as usual. Fun and beautiful. Good for kids and very easy.
October 24, 2020beautiful hike!

October 20, 2020October 20, 2020October 16, 2020October 14, 2020We parked at the Glen Doone parking lot and walked to the Escarpment Trail from there, taking the Indian Ladder Trail on our way out, then sticking to the Escarpment Trail on the way back (the Indian Ladder Trail is one-way going from south-east to north-west). The view is awesome and pretty much constant, and some portions of the trail (especially the Indian Ladder part) feel like you're fully in the woods/nature, but for large portion of this hike you are walking through or right next to the parking lots in the area, so it doesn't feel like true hiking.
October 12, 2020There is a reason this trail is always crowded. One of the most beautiful and unique trails the area. Wear your masks but today wasn’t so crowded.
October 11, 2020Nice fall hike near Albany to view some peak foliage on a Sunday afternoon.
October 9, 2020October 3, 2020October 1, 2020September 29, 2020This Trail is was really awesome and you can see birds, newts, chipmunks and it is the best experience that you can to go on for relaxation.
September 24, 2020September 13, 2020September 13, 2020Absolutely scenic. Short but worthy hike with some elevation
September 12, 2020September 12, 2020Quite a few people on trails- most wore masks when passing. Beautiful views!
September 3, 2020August 30, 2020Fairly busy but people did a great job wearing masks and social distancing. Easy but not boring and lots to see so a great hike for kids.
August 28, 2020Beautiful trail with lots of views and rock formations. Lots of stairs up and down, but well worth it. Waterfall was a dribble, cannot wait to go back when it’s running..
