Hiking the Waterfalls Of the Grasse River

We are back in the Adirondacks.  We left hurriedly at the beginning of October to deal with a family tragedy.  We are here now for a couple of weeks to try to unwind before heading back to New Jersey.

Today we drove up Tooley Pond Road looking for waterfalls.  We hiked into four of them.

Copper Rock Falls

Rainbow Falls

Basford Falls

Lampsons Falls

Hiking in Stone Valley

I had to drive to Potsdam again today to pick up a grocery order from Walmart.  This time I decided to break up the trip by stopping at Stone Valley for a nice hike along the way.  This neat fungus was along the path.

There wasn't much water in the river.

This is the view from a side path fairly close to the beginning of the trail.

I walked in about a mile, where I got this view.  Then I turned around.

Hiking the Bloomingdale Bog Trail

After going to the farmers market today we drove north from Saranac Lake to walk a while through Bloomingdale Bog.  We walked in about 1 1/2 miles then turned around.  The trail was more grown in than we remembered and we wondered if in the past we walked there earlier in the season.

We found another green frog; this one much bigger than the ones we saw a couple of days ago.
