"I could stay here stuck
Thinking about the days of bad luck
Or get lost in your voice
It’s an easy choice
And something in your smile says
Everything’s gonna be all right
Wasn’t always this easy
It wasn’t always like it was today
Wasn’t always this easy
And I will hold onto this moment"

hiking trailsssssss
My boyfriend, some other friends and myself have been finding and going to amazing hiking trails where we've come across some pretty rad waterfalls. I have made a list below of the best hiking places (some with waterfalls!) which I recommend. If you're looking for something free (well, besides gas) to go to and to just get out and be active, please do visit these. They are great. I also mentioned one or two I wouldn't recommend.. .
1) Bash Bish Falls in Massachusetts (best waterfall I've ever seen!) The trail is very steep and quite a workout but it's so worth it. It's only about an hour from Albany or maybe a little more.
2) Barberville Falls in Rensselaer Country - another great waterfall.
3) Edmund Hike- nice waterfall, best for beginner hikers, not too strenuous
4) Five Rivers (smaller, no waterfall but still beautiful. AND there's a wild turkey trail. What's not to love?)
5) Lisha Kill Preserve (a little difficult to navigate but not too bad of a hike. Smaller waterfall)
6) Plotterkill Preserve (definitely not my favorite but the waterfall is nice when there's enough water- best to visit in the fall, winter, and spring).
And here's one I don't recommend at all:
7) Normanskill Farm (It's right in Delmar and you drive down this road suddenly you can go a few different directions. It's confusing, scary because there's like weird worship or sacrifice sculptures in the Forrest, and not much of a hike! Most of it isn't even through the woods- just along a road with cars constantly coming.) However, there is a dog park at the end somewhere so that may be of help to ya.
