Took a hike at the Mianus River Gorge Preserve outside of Bedford, NY on Memorial Day. Beautiful day and a beautiful piece of northern hardwood forest (see In Praise of Northern Hardwood Forests). About 2.5 miles in along the red trail, you encounter Havemeyer Falls (shown above). Nice place to sit and eat a sandwich. [NOTE: The preserve also contains a really nice grove of old hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriére)].
