The Shawangunks, New YorkThis weekend I got to go on a climbing/camping trip up to the Shawangunk Mountains (aka the gunks). It's located about 90 miles north of New York City. We visited 2 different parks, Peter's Kill, and the Mohonk Preserve. Us four-leggers are allowed in the parks as long as we are leashed. The areas include cliffs, forests, fields, ponds, streams – and a ton of climbing! I scampered up some cool D-problems and explored the Peter's Kill forest. Pictuered left is me and my mom, on a boulder called "The Diving Board". My dad laughed when it spit my mom off her first attempt, but she sent it, then we posed at the top. At right is proof of my visit along the carriage road in the Mohonk Preserve.
