Not exactly a real hike but the Indian Ladder Trail is always fun.

Hiked Bonticou Crag this morning, glad to have made it out as early as we did to avoid crowds. It's been a few years since I've done this loop, I've been staying further south on the Minnewaska ridge recently due to the covid influx of hikers but was glad to get up this way before a bulk of the crowds were out. The story once we made it downtown for burritos was a little different.

Early morning at Storm King, hiked most of the White to Blue loop on from the southern parking lot. Diverted for a "short cut" on an old mining track to avoid the hike all the way back up to 9W from 218. Quintessential fall hike in the Hudson Highlands ending with a visit to Blooming Hill Farm to pick up some fresh produce for the week. All the fall vibes save for pumpkin spice.

Hiked up Lost Clove Trail to the Belleayre Mountain true summit yesterday. First time up this route and also my first time on the Belle ridge line in the summer. Lost Clove Trail is probably one of the steepest old log skidder trails I've had the pleasure of hiking, got 1800ft of elevation gain and 2.2 miles in just under an hour. I was thinking in winters past that Lost Clove might make a good skin track, I no longer agree with this assumption. Definitely a great alternative to Slide Mountain or Giant if those parking lots are full if your ego isn't bruised for not getting up above 4000ft. Got to scope a few winter lines running into Giggle Hollow, need to get up that was with a set of loppers in the bag.
