Download or read book Downstate New York Rock Walks written by C. Russell Dunn and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downstate New York Rock Walks is both a hiking guidebook and a history book, calling attention to some of downstate New York's most spectacular and historic rocks: balanced rocks, perched rocks, rock shelters, talus caves, glacial potholes, split rocks, rock profiles, historic rocks, and massive, larger-than-life boulders. Many large glacial erratics have a history going back thousands of years to when they were moved to their present location by advancing glaciers. Many served as points of navigational reference at a time when the landscape was featureless and heavily forested, and still others were ceremonial sites for Native Americans. Rock shelters and talus caves have also been used for thousands of years by Native Americans and Europeans seeking refuge from the elements. It is important that these amazing natural wonders of stone be remembered and recorded before they are lost to collective memory or destroyed by the encroachment of civilization. Providing precise GPS location information along with length and degree of difficulty for each hike, Downstate New York Rock Walks will appeal to casual hikers, serious rock explorers, historians, geologists, and anyone wishing to explore some of nature’s greatest wonders within the reach of the lower Hudson River valley.

Download or read book Scudder s White Mountain Viewing Guide written by Brent E. Scudder and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following is quoted (with permission) from WINDSWEPT, the quarterly journal of the Mount Washington Observatory. Mountain travellers who look forward to the challenge of recognizing distant points from lofty peaks will find a treasure in Brent Scudder's WHITE MOUNTAIN VIEWING GUIDE. Scudder, a meteorologist by training & a flight planning analyst by profession, is also an avid hiker, & likes to know what he is looking at when he enjoys the view from a high mountain. His GUIDE, evidently the fruit of years of effort with hiking boots, camera & computer includes narrative descriptions of the character of 43 summits which are within or have views of the White Mountains from Pack Monadnock in southern New Hampshire to Quebec's Mont Megantic. The special feature of the Guide, though, is the 43 line drawings of the 360 degree panorama from each of the featured peaks, highlighting distant points, their elevation & their distance. SCUDDER'S WHITE MOUNTAIN VIEWING GUIDE is obviously a real labor of love & fills a vacant niche in White Mountain guidebooks. It will certainly be much appreciated by the many hikers (& tram riders too) who want to know more about exactly what they are seeing from lofty viewpoints.
