My friend Alyson and I decided to hike the 3 main trails in Rhinebeck this morning. We had a gorgeous fall day to do it, but the fall foliage was not at its peak yet. We began our morning at the Poet's Walk, which is a less-than-2-mile meander through fields and forest on the bank of the Hudson River. Below are a few pictures from that.
Next up is Ferncliff Forest, where we climbed the Ferncliff fire tower. 108 steps! A little scary, especially for Alyson because she's afraid of heights, but we made it.
Finally, we hit up Burger Hill, which is just a 10-minute climb to the top of the hill and you get amazing views of the Catskills from the top (though you get great views from the fire tower too!). A great way to end our 3-hike extravaganza.
