It fascinates me how within an hour’s drive of Manhattan are some wonderful places to go hiking. Two of my favorite spots are Harriman and Bear Mountain state parks. Their vistas are magnificent, particularly in the fall.
My hiking prowess was put to the test yesterday when I hooked up with a group called Outdoor Bound. I joined them for a grueling 10 mile hike and rock scramble in eighty-five degree heat; real nice group of people and I was really impressed with the hike leader, a guy named Richard (he didn’t give his last name). I would definitely recommend this group.
I just hope that I’m not the only person who went on that hike with blistered feet and aching muscles today.

I know where you can get a good price on a lovely set of Prada-esque, post-surgical flip-flops if you’re in the market. Ugly as sin, but rather comfy on the feet. :)
