Albany Pine Bush Preserve
Nathan and I love taking walks in the Albany Pine Bush. It's one of the best and last remaining examples of an inland pine barrens ecosystem on Earth. Take a walk through the sandy soils and enjoy finding lupine, karner blue butterflies, and lots of other wildlife within the heart of the tri-city region.
Thacher State Park
Nathan and Tori love to take hikes, mountain bike rides, xc skiing trips, and backcountry ski trips throughout Thacher Park. It has a lot to offer! Thacher has a large trail system and beautiful views overlooking the Hudson Valley. If you're into rocks, you should check out the Emma Treadwell Nature Center that's within the park.
