Remebrance

Brooklyn Bridge Park | Brooklyn, NY The Tribute In Light is such an iconic part of the 9/11 Memorial. It shines bright like a beacon in the night. As the ceremonies kick off early morning, emotion fills the air as the city and country look back on the historic event. Let us honor those we have lost and take time to reflect. Never Forget.

Falls over the Edge

Kaaterskill Falls | Hunter, NY A popular huge, two-tier waterfall with a hike from the base that is steep but short. The waterfall itself is refreshing and the views looking out from the top are marvelous.

New York New York

DUMBO | Brooklyn, NY The Manhattan Bridge is such an iconic piece of the city. The orange and blue glass color mix of home team Knicks and Mets on the construction behind it the bridge really spoke 'NYC' to me.

Cascade

High Falls is a great little short hike in Hudson Valley. The Conservation Area is big but you’ll be at these beautiful falls before you know it. The town of Hudson is also a great spot with restaurants, antique stores and other little shops that embodies that upstate NY town feel.

East River Shimmer

Brooklyn Bridge Park | Brooklyn, NY Having lived in Brooklyn now for some time, I'm a little biased but looking at downtown Manhattan from this side of the river is fantastic. With the lights burning bright, it's not hard to see why it's called The City That Never Sleeps.

Hometown America

Anthony's Nose | Philipstown, NY A great short, scenic hike in Hudson Valley. I've done this trail a number of times before, but it was special to see someone had posted an American flag waving on a beautiful day.

Peek

High Falls Conservation | Hudson, NY These falls are incredibly easy to get to. It's more of a stroll than a hike, but who doesn't love getting to see a waterfall like this. I managed to find a great opening where the trees create a great natural frame. If you're in upstate New York, definitely stop by.

Fall Leaves

Hudson Valley | Philipstown, NY Fall time in Hudson Valley brings out so many interesting colors in the foilage. It's natural to gaze out on a mountain top to see the landscape painted with a mix of autumn colors, but looking up into the tree tops is also a site to see.

Slush

NY got some good snow so decided to take advantage of it and hit up Hunter Mountain for some snowboarding. On the way back as night began to settle in, I stopped off at the base of the Kaaterskill Falls hike. If you've never been, go! The hike is great and there's a sweet, huge two-tier waterfall waiting as reward. The nice thing too is right off the highway are the Bastion Falls pictured here at the start of the hike to get you warmed up.
