Take a peek

Howie and I did a short hike this afternoon. We climbed Peaked Rock in the Battenkill State Forest (near Cambridge, NY). Parked at a small grass lot off of Route 313 and then started out. The first part of the trail was through a field. Then it entered the woods and followed steep woods roads up to the ridge. Along the ridge, the trail was more of a foot path. There was one bump to get over before we reached the view point. Couldn't get to the actual summit as it was off of State land. Had a quick snack and then headed back.

After the hike, I checked out the Eagleville and Buskirk covered bridges which were in the same general area.

Round-trip Distance: 5.2 mi
Elevation Change: 1270 ft

I like the photo where the bridge is reflected in the water.
