And so, the time has come/for one last hike/
Before it’s freezing…

It might already be too late for the more delicate among us. In Albany proper, we woke to a dusting of snow this morning. But if you haven’t yet this season, do make time (perhaps this holiday weekend?) to visit Thacher Overlook and the Indian Ladder Trail. The wind is brisk and the air has the metallic scent of snow, but the muted colors of the autumn and the view as far as Equinox is well worth the drive. Cold cheeks from that blustery wind only make the hot chocolate taste more delicious, after all!
