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…
Adirondacks: Indian Head and Rainbow Falls Hike
After contemplating for several weeks, we bit the bullet and decided to do this hike. The main problem for us was the daunting 11-12 mile hike. Anyway, the point is that we set off to do it this weekend. Sunday showed more chances for rain than Saturday. So, we left early on Saturday. We had…
Blue Mountain Lake – Central Adirondacks
Our agenda was to get to Blue Mountain Lake and do the small hike up to the Castle Rock Summit to get a view of the Blue Mountain Lake. The drive from our house through the foothills of Adirondacks didn’t show that the fall colors had peaked, but once we went past Warrensburg and the…
Falls Colors in Adirondacks.. Bummer
Like we did for the last couple of years, we were so excited to visit Adirondacks to see the fall colors during the Oct 2nd weekend – the weekend when normally the Octoberfest happens in the Whiteface mountain. Couple days before the weekend, the northeast got hammered with rain and wind. I had just spent almost…
Colorful Adirondacks!
This past weekend would have turned out to be a total bummer if not for the day trip into Adirondacks… It was supposed to be a muggy and rainy weekend, clearing up later on Sunday. So, our expectations to take the trip to Adirondacks for fall colors fizzled out on saturday… Later in the day,…
Farm Market today…
This ‘Duncan’s Farm Market’ is about a mile from our apartment and we haven’t got a chance to go over there all this summer until today when we are almost in the middle of autumn! It is a cute little space by a local farmer.. While talking to him, he mentioned that this is his…
