The views from the Mohonk trails are spectacular – here are a few panoramas to give a sense of the views.
Mohonk on Christmas Day
Imagine our delight on Christmas Day when we realized the fog had lifted and the sun was shining! Out to the trails again.
A Visit to Mohonk Mountain House
We are visiting the Mohonk Mountain House for Christmas this year. Not a white Christmas by a long shot – unless you think of all that lack of visibility as white. It’s nearly 50 and rainy. Nevertheless, we had a lovely walk along the trails.
A Visit to Frog Pond
This past week has been gorgeous, perfect early fall weather. The leaves have begun to turn, and even appear to be peak on some hillsides. Or maybe just our yard. Other hillsides are still quite green. The variety is amazing. Our friend Kate was visiting and just gawked at all the beauty in every direction. […]

By 8:30am I was at the specified location watching the wonderful group who made this happen. We spent 4+ hours watching as Scott Van […]
Let it snow

Fortunately, it didn’t come down too heavily until after the Holiday Market and Christmas Stroll in the Village. The cats were really annoyed until we shoveled paths so they could get out and sniff what’s going on around […]
