"Got my wife out of our home office and in the fresh air for a fun romp in Black Rock Forest. It was a choice of either working on our taxes or going for a hike. She smartly chose the hike especially since it was her birthday. Nice sunny day with temps comfortable enough so we could forgo bundling up and allowed to proceed with a more stroll-like pace. I haven’t been on the summit of Black Rock in several years so it was a nice surprise to see the grand view of the Catskills. " — Nimblefoot • Apr 2, 2022
"Another lovely day in November with bright sun and temps hotting up into the 70’s. Getting in a loop of four peaks in Black Rock Forest before the wet weather returns tomorrow." — Nimblefoot • Nov 10, 2020
"Out visiting some local peaks. First up was Turkey mountain, which I’ve done only once, via a loop of the short and direct white trail and the longer less steep blue trail. Cars were coming into the Nature park from out of state like Ct and NJ, some folks seem to be going far and wide to get in a “local” hike. Next up was a quick romp up to Anthony’s Nose for nice view up and down the River and over the Bear Mtn bridge. A little tricky finding parking along Rt 9D, a hot spot for hiking in the valley. Surprisingly I had the open ledge to myself despite the numerous cars below, not sure where everyone went, but I’ll take it. To finish my day I hopped across the River to head up to Black Rock forest for a jaunt up to Whitehorse mountain. Didn’t see a soul on the short hike so no need for any awkward social distancing." — Nimblefoot • Apr 16, 2020
"Out doing a short local hike with Sharon on a beautiful and warm day. Peak four of four in Black Rock Forest as we close the loop and head down to our car on Rt 9W. Next up we head to Poughkeepsie to head to Plan Bee brewery a small farm operation run by a young couple." — Nimblefoot • Oct 7, 2017
"An afternoon romp around Black Rock Forest visiting the peaks. For peak 4 of 7 I did an simple bushwhack up from Upper Reservoir just to do something different. The firm crust made it a fast easy ascent." — Nimblefoot • Jan 28, 2017
"Loop hike in Black Rock Forest on a breezy and cool day. Before heading down to my car on rt 9W I traversed over the summit of Whitehorse mtn, the seventh and final peak of the day." — Nimblefoot • May 13, 2015
