Tech Park Trails(North Greenbush)

Took a brief opportunity to get out for an evening walk at the Tech Park trails located in the town of North Greenbush.  I parked in the unmarked pull off along Global View(there is a small Waterfalls Trails sign next to a tree) and began my walk across the open meadows.  The weather was split as I meandered along, with stormy skies prevailing just to the north, and blue skies winning out to the south.

 Once I entered the woods, the trails got a bit more muddy.

 I've visited these woods on several different occasions but it has been a while, and this is the first time I have been here since they began marking the trails. I followed the red marked waterfalls trail, which closely follows a deep chasm carved out by small streams that drain these slopes.

 A muddy descent brought me to a pair of lovely small waterfalls.  The first is about 7 or 8 feet high.

 Several yards below the first falls is a second, smaller, but broader falls.  From the base of these second falls, I caught a nice look up at both sets, creating a tiered effect.

Once I completed the marked trail, I began following the unmarked herd paths that wander all over these woods.  Although unmarked, they are wide and very easy to follow.

 I dropped down to the railroad tracks, which run just east of the Hudson River, but there were a few ATV's riding around down there, so I turned back.  Explored the woods off trail for a bit, finding another tributary with small cascades.  This part of the woods had a surprisingly wild feel to it.

Headed back up to the main trail and bridge crossing over the stream.

Walked about 1.75 miles total, and even worked up a bit of a sweat.
Enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the Albany skyline on my way home.
