Half-Day Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge Nature Hike
Details
Late morning-maybe early afternoon hike in a wildlife refuge near New Paltz, NY, in the lower NYS area. Home to many types of animals and plants, it's apparently a good place to see harriers hovering for prey, as well as other raptor birds. Trails cut through the grass cut through the squarish-shaped refuge.
Following the hikes, we might have a late lunch and drinks in New Paltz or somewhere else close by.
Rain check cancellation if it rains.
