hiking with Mom and Dad at the Bluffs, NY

I enjoyed the walk along the bluffs in Chimney Bluffs State Park with Mom and Dad. Hot day... fun hike.

Chimney Bluffs State Park ...gorgeous. Below are some photos taken along our walk along the bluffs.

Incredible. I didn't know that this was so close to my hometown! (Less than an hour's drive.)

And a couple other 'views' just for fun:

The walk along Lake Ontario in Chimney Bluffs State Park was very nice... even on a super hot day. The trail is right along the edge of the cliffs at some parts and said edge is continually making its way further and further back. Some of the trees (roots included) looked as if they had very recently fallen (collapsed!) off the edge... landing at the bottom along the water's edge... and many of the trees still grow this way!

This one fell the wrong way! Yikes.

Chimney Bluffs State Park, NY

While my brother, Lenny, and his wife, Lexey, were home in Rochester a couple months ago, they visited Chimney Bluffs State Park with my parents. I had never heard of this state park before their visit!

Mom and Dad took me there this past week too. It's really great. I never knew that we had bluffs like this so close to us... right along Lake Ontario! We parked in the lot and then walked about a 3-mile round-trip to (and along) the bluffs and then back. This is my kind of a 'hike'... flat!!
