Nyack has a lot of trees that stand out.

This is one of my favorites. It's tall enough that it can be seen from many places around town.

You can see it from the parking lot behind Nyack Plaza.

The Long Path & Oak Hill

2011-01-11T05:38:00.000-08:00

The Long Path passes a large green water tank and continues along a ridge just behind part of Oak Hill Cemetery. There are great views from the cemetery.

Walking along, you get an appreciation for life and living each day to the fullest.

Winter is an excellent time to walk through the cemetery. Many of the stones look more dramatic in the snow.

There are many interesting monuments.

Unusual designs.

Some of the markers are quite old. The Long Path quickly connects with a Mountain Trail in Mountainview Nature Park. It's a good short hike.

An Afternoon Walk Above The Hudson

2011-01-05T14:19:00.000-08:00

On the Long Path this afternoon, just north of Hook Mountain. One of my favorite things about living in Nyack is how easy it is to walk from my house to Hook Mountain and enjoy many viewpoints from The Long Path. The path is about 350 miles long, taking the hiker from The GW Bridge / NYC to Altamont Village in the town of Guilderland ( New York's Capitol Region) Nyackers who haven't yet experienced the views from Hook Mtn. and High Tor might want to explore the Long Path this year.
