Alander

The nice March weather continues. Did a hike with Howie in the Taconic hills. We climbed Alander mountain from Under mountain road. Followed the Robert Brook trail up to the ridge, and then continued on the South Taconic trail to the summit. It was very sunny with a cool breeze. The woods were almost snow free, except in sheltered areas and on shady northern slopes. There was one large group at the top, but otherwise didn't see too many people out on the trail.

Summit Elevation: Alander 2250 ft
Round-trip Distance: 5.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1500 ft

Afterwards, I did a quick walk at nearby Bashbish Falls and also at High Falls in Philmont.
