Round, Round, Get Around

Howie and I did a hike on part of the Taconic Crest Trail - it runs along the ridge between NY and MA. Parked near the last house on Madden Rd, then started walking up the unpaved road. Reached the summit of Rounds mountain which had good views ... though visibility was limited due to clouds. Continued following the trail to Rathburn hollow, and then turned back. There was still snow lingering on the northern slopes, but it won't be long before it's gone. On the drive back, I heard the Beach Boys song - I Get Around.

Summit Elevation: Rounds mountain 2245 ft
Round-trip Distance: 9.0 mi
Elevation Change: 2235 ft

2000+ ft change in elevation is nothing to sneeze at.
