Sterling Lake Hike

My wife and I go hiking.


This 4 mile hike around Sterling Lake was how we spent part of the day Saturday. It's about 90 minutes northwest of NYC.

It was a hot day, and we saw no one else on the trail until the last 1.5 miles.


Well, we did come across a wild turkey and a bunch of her chicks, and, a little later on, this pair of Canadian Geese, with one wee gosling.


The family had been waddling in front of us for maybe 30 seconds, and then they all got in the water.


It was cool in the shade, and once we rounded the west side of the lake, we got some breezes.
