This special outing takes us through the dramatic landscape of Platte Clove, where we’ll be on the lookout for blooming wild azaleas along the trail. Along the way, Moe will share the natural and cultural history of the Platte Clove Preserve, including a visit to Plattekill Falls and a stop along the Hudson River School Art Trail where the region’s iconic landscape paintings were inspired.
