Gutierrez Family Forest(Town of Stephentown, Rensselaer County)

Did a short walk at the Rensselaer Plateau Allaince's Gutierrez Family Forest on a cool but pleasant fall afternoon. 

 

Followed the yellow blazes of the Bobcat Trail, which form a loop near a sprawling wetland.  Took a brief moment to check out this pretty beaver that sits just a few yards off trail as well.

Completed the Bobcat Trail loop, and then did a short road walk NE to the red blazed Mink Circle Trail.
From the red blazes of the Mink Circle Trail, I then picked up the red blazed Heron Trail all the way to its end, where a little scrambling around through the edges of a wetland offer up a nice view north towards Turner Mountain.
Retraced my steps back on the red blazes and then back to the car via a road walk.  Covered nearly 2 miles RT.
