Trees that have been whittled down at the base by beavers
Winter Solstice feels like more of a New Year than actual New Year's Day (to me) so it felt appropriate to greet it with a hike
#Reinstein #WNYHikingChallenge
To kickoff my fall hiking season and celebrate my HUGE September 1 career milestone, Joel Versypt and I spent the afternoon at Letchworth State Park for hike 2 of #WNYHikingChallenge. We did the Autism Nature Trail and portions of the Gorge Trail.
Hike 1 of #WNYHikingChallenge at Little Rock City with UB SEAS colleagues before we start the Faculty Launch Mentoring Program writing retreat in Ellicottville.
Camped at Letchworth this weekend. I’ve been there so many times, but staying the weekend was such a relaxing treat. Well, relaxing after hiking the gorge trail start to finish with a small side quest. So many other trails too. #wnyhiking #wnyhikingchallenge
Today was out #WNYHikingChallenge wrap party at #42North. Fun time meeting new people. Actually won a prize in the raffle! Thank you #GearforAdventure for the super #Leki trekking poles! #outsidechronicles
I finished the #WNYHikingChallenge! Big thanks to Joel for enabling me over the last 2 months to squeeze this in. Here are a few of my favorite pics from Allegany State Park, Little Rock City in Rock City State Forest, Letchworth State Park, Whirlpool State Park, and Eighteen Mile Creek County Park.
