As the holiday season is here, it has reminded me of one of my most memorable New Years Eve. Aaron and I decided to go on a last minute adventure to the Chimney Bluffs in upstate New York.
With over 5 hours of driving, it was not a short ride to this destination. Packed and ready we headed out and arrived to have it almost all to ourselves. The hike to the bluffs was a pretty easy one, we decided to walk near the water, which will get you a lot closer to the bluffs themselves. I tried walking up the bluffs but it was muddy and very fragile – crumbling to the touch, so be careful while exploring.
The scenery is unlike any other hiking spots we’ve been to before in New York, it almost feels like the South West, made even prettier with the snow on the ground. We continued to walk to the end of the Bluffs and then found a path that lead to the higher grounds with birds eye view of the bluffs and sea.
Although a short hike, it was definitely worth the drive and gave us a unique getaway. Make sure to check out Chimney Bluffs New York for a Unique getaway.
