Budapest is a dense city, especially on the Pest side of town. Even though I was only in the city for a handful of days, my soul still yearned to get off the streets and into the woods. Thankfully there is a bus you can take to the end of […]

Nyhavn We are all amateur photographers these days, and Nyhavn [Nyhavn 1-71 | Kobenhavn K, Copenhagen 1051, Denmark] is about as picturesque as you can get. Grab a camera and head own down to the canal to take your own personal set of pictures here. The brilliantly colored buildings along […]
It’s mountain season again, and I couldn’t be happier! A few weeks ago on a chilly spring day we packed our bags and headed for Prospect Mountain, just moments away from Lake George village. [Turn west from on Route 9 from Lake George village onto Montcalm St. Five blocks to […]
Diamond Head (Lighthouse, Military Remnants, Tunnels, Waikiki) This is the quintessential Oahu hike located right in Waikiki, everyone does it and the trail is packed accordingly. There are many things that make this hike very interesting and unique, but it is really hard to look past the throngs of people […]
You don’t have to be a mountain climber to experience the beauty of the Catskills, you just have to know where to look. There is a flat paved trail along the Ashokan Reservoir in the town of Olivebridge with breathtaking views of the mountains. It’s perfect for biking, rollerblading, running, […]
I visited Lenior Preserve in Yonkers, Westchester and it was a great little spot. Doesn’t take long to walk around this 40 acre plot, but you may find some odd things along the way to hold your attention. It’d be hard to miss the huge abandoned mansion, for starters. What […]

I hiked Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks on a beautiful sunny afternoon. A large portion of the hike has you scrambling up rocks; there are short areas of reprieve to catch your breath. Towards the very end of the way up you reach a tall ladder (so beware if you […]
I visited Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY this weekend and had a wonderful time. It is a very eclectic park, there is a beach, campgrounds, pavilions, and various hiking trails. We traversed most of the hiking trails to make our way around the peninsula, some were better maintained than […]
I recently hiked Monument Mountain in Great Barrington. When entering the parking lot I realized it is a very popular hike, there were tons of people there. This did not hinder the enjoyment of the hike, however. We did not encounter too many people along our climb to the summit […]
I had such a fantastic time white water rafting with Adirondack River Outfitters. I purchased a Groupon for two people which included the rafting, a light lunch, and a bbq dinner. We spent four hours with a great tour guide navigating 17 miles of the Hudson River (way up north, […]
If you are up for taking a nice cruise down the thruway, I’ve got a place for you to visit. Storm King Art Center is a huge sculpture park with some pretty impressive pieces. This park is set in a natural scene with rolling hills, a creek, and wildflowers. It […]
