Palisades Then and Now
Last Saturday's hike to Palisades/Great Stairs (see Tuesday post) was quite a workout. More pictures today, and a video clip shot during our picnic lunch on the giant boulders on that sun-drenched day. But, first, my first memory of the name 'Palisades,', from an late-1960s TV commercial for the late, great amusement park.. 'Come... on... over...'
My video masterpiece on the Giant Stairs...
More highlights...
Here's one of many waterfalls we encountered..

It was a complex climb, with loose, slippery rocks and branches of varying reliability. I have the scrapes, scratches, and bruises to show for it
