Downstate New York Rock Walks: An Explorer's Guide to Amazing Boulders and Rock Formations
An explorer's walking guide to downstate New York's awesome boulders and rock formations.
C. Russell Dunn is a retired New York State-licensed hiking guide and the author of many regional outdoors and history-oriented hiking guidebooks, including Adirondack Waterfall Guide: New York's Cool Cascade; Catskill Region Waterfall Guide; Trails with Tales: History Hikes through the Capital Region, Saratoga, Berkshires, Catskills and Hudson Valley; and Paths to the Past: History Hikes through the Hudson River Valley, Catskills, Berkshires, Taconics, Saratoga and Capital Region, (the latter two cowritten with his wife, Barbara Delaney). He lives in Albany, New York.
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.
