CNY

While visiting family this weekend, I was able to do some short hikes at some nearby parks and preserves.
On Friday, an unexpected detour off the Thruway (due to a truck fire), led me to Oxbow falls park. Followed the main trail all the way to the frisbee golf course. It was a bit confusing with many unmarked side trails. There were some waterfalls in this park, but not much water flowing.
On Saturday, went to Fillmore Glen state park. Did a loop on the Gorge and South Rim trails. A nice cool spot to be for a warm afternoon.
On Sunday, made a short trip in the evening to Carpenter falls and ravine.
On Monday, stopped at Clark Reservation state park in Syracuse. Did a nice loop consisting of the Cliff and Lake trails. Tricky walking in some spots due limestone crevices. A surprisingly tranquil setting so close to an urban area.
