indian ladder
On Memorial Day, Dan and I did this classic local Albany hike around the limestone cliffs known as the Helderberg Escarpment. As the story apparently goes, the trail was once a passageway for the Mohawk Indians, and where it got too steep, they constructed a ladder to climb it. Of course, now what would have been a quaint ladder is a metal staircase that looks like it belongs in the stairwell of an industrial building, but if you can get past that, the trail has some amazing views of the Hudson Valley and quite a few waterfalls.
