Today’s adventure took me to Moreau State Park in the eastern Adirondacks. The park has a prettier extensive trail network. I chose a lollipop loop on the western edge of the park, up above the Hudson River, along an esker. Much of the time I was hiking in the woods through mixed hardwoods, hemlocks, and white pines. There were a couple overlooks allowing for views of the Hudson and the hills beyond.
