Originally, we had thought about doing the Cascade Mountain trail after Owls Head, but because of the time we spent at Owls head, we decided that it would be too late to start Cascade Mountain trail that late in the day. We had a plan B to go to Mt. Jo near Heart Lake in…

Owls Head Trail, Adirondacks Fall Foliage (Oct 2021)
This time, for the leaf peeping, we went to Adirondacks region again. But, to do something different from our previous visits, we chose first Owls Head Trail. This trail and trail head resides in a private property and the owners have an understanding with NYSDEC for providing access to visitors. But, this access is only…
Green Lakes State Park (May 2021)
Green Lakes State Park Just as the name indicates, as soon we parked the car and got out, we could see the greenish-blue/turquoise colored water in the lake. As we got closer to the trail around the lake, it was so amazing and it appeared like lakes formed closer to glaciers. Entire perimeter of the lake…
Delphi and Pratt's Falls County Park (May 2021)
Delphi Falls (Madison County) We went to Delphi Falls that is about 30 min away, also in the Cazenovia area. On the way, we stopped by the Lakeland Park Pier located on the shore of the Cazeonovia Lake. It was a beautiful picnic spot and hardly anyone was there, being a weekday it was. Delphi…
Chittenango Falls State Park (May 2021)
The park is located near Cazenovia, a quaint town in Central NY a bit east of Syracuse. The falls is apparently falling over a structure sculpted since the glacial age and it can be seen by the layers of rocks behind and around the falls. From the parking area, the access to falls is from…
High Falls Conservation Area (May 2021)
When we reached there, there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. It was a similar situation even during our previous visit. The falls overview can be reached from the parking area with <30 min hike through the wooded area via the green trail. There is a viewing platform to get a nice view…
Bash Bish Falls State Park (May 2021)
Coming out of the pandemic with both of us vaccinated, we felt a sigh of relief. May was bringing warmer days with the spring foliage in full bloom; it was an apt time for visiting waterfalls. We wanted to explore some areas that are nearby as the first outdoor trip for the year. Bash Bish…
Voss to Oslo – Norway (Day 8)
Next day morning, the breakfast was quite good though. We drove to Fleischer’s hotel, returned the car and walked to platform in time to catch the train to Oslo. The train journey was about 5.5 hrs and the initial portion of the journey was through the snow-covered mountains and it was quite spectacular to see…
Nes Gard to Voss – Norway (Day 7)
After the breakfast at Nes Gard, we continued on Hwy 55 further down until it ended at Hwy 5. We took the Hwy 5 towards Flam and continued on E16 towards Borgund Stave Church, another Stave Church that is much bigger than the one we visited in Lom. Unlike Lom, Borgund Stave Church is not…
Hjelle to Nes Gard – Norway (Day 6)
Started off with a scrumptious breakfast at the Hjelle Hotel. Our plan is to continue on the Hwy 15 towards Lom and proceed to Hoyheimsvik for our stay at the Nes Gard. The drive on Hwy 15 from Hjelle to Lom was something that we were skeptical about because a stretch of the road goes…
