Tech Park

Went to Rensselaer Technology Park south of Troy for an easy hike this afternoon. Parked at the Children's Museum lot, crossed the road and walked along the sidewalk. Before the culvert, turned onto a mowed path which lead to a marked trail. The trail went along a small creek, crossed it on a footbridge, and then went back uphill before dropping into another ravine. Continued along the trail and crossed another small creek on a footbridge. Eventually reached the railroad tracks down by the river. Followed the tracks north and then bushwacked back up along the first creek. There were some small waterfalls and cascades. Eventually reached the first foot bridge and took the trail back to the car. Next, I drove over to the PBS television station (WMHT) building and parked in visitor lot. Followed the mowed path through a field to the woods and then the marked trail down to check out more waterfalls. Explored both sides of the ravine. Walked about 4 miles altogether. Howie picked up a few ticks.
