Keleher Preserve(Town of New Scotland, Albany County)

Did a short hike at the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy's Keleher Preserve this morning up in the Albany County hilltowns.   It was another muggy day with storms set to move in a little later on, so I moved along quickly, enjoying complete solitude on the trails.

 

The preserve sits on the slopes of Wolf Hill, and provides seasonal views to the east from a couple of small clearings.  Unfortunately the murky conditions didn't allow for much of a view today.

While green is still the dominant color in the woods, small splashes of fall colors can be found here and there.
Hiked about 3.7 miles total with a couple hundred feet of elevation gain along the way.  Only saw one other person out on the trails this morning.

    Any day in the woods is a good day! I was up that way this spring and stopped at the lookout at Camp Pinnacle, what a view! On the east side of Pinnacle Rd, a nice "quickie" if you're in that area...

      Yes Ned, a day in the woods beats a day anywhere else! I appreciate the heads up on Camp Pinnacle-also, there's a great view driving north on Sickle Hill Road in Berne..as well as many others I'm sure. I do enjoy the ride up there, always nice-especially in the fall.
