 Need some new or forgotten places to take a mom break or get the kids out of the house for some exercise?  Check out some of our favorite places!  

This week we visited Burger Hill, in Rhinebeck NY.

Burger Hill is a short walk, about a mile up and back, up a hill in Rhinebeck.  I don't know that this would necessarily be called a hike, but it for sure can get your heart rate going! Trek to the summit for a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, all labeled with carvings on large stones.


I've come here with the family, I've come here to enjoy some alone time, and I've even come here to help with a surprise engagement!


It is a beautiful spot any time of day and during any season.  I love to go and try and catch the sunset!
If there is snow on the ground, bring your sled, the ride is sure to be a fun one, just not sure how many times you will want to climb back up.   


Remember to always respect the world around you, including people and our trails.
