A Catsgill Wedding

The main purpose for our trip was to celebrate Julie and my brother, Alan's, wedding. After we had finished in Alaska we flew to New York State to the town of Catsgill. Here in Julie's parents garden, in the shadow of the Catsgill Mountains they married on a gloriously hot summers day.













Amid week long celebrations for the wedding (with far too much drinking, eating and lots of late nights) we managed to fit in one day hike in the Catsgill Mountains. We walked from the Devils Tombstone Campground up to Devils Acre Plateau Shelter. The most striking thing about this walk is how green the bush is on these slopes.







After the wedding we had one afternoon to head up to North Lake, once said to be the most famous view in America, looking down on the Hudson River.
