Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve

 About two weeks before Thanksgiving we explored Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve. It was out first time to this spot, it's a beautiful forest. We walked about 4.5 miles, enjoying the fall colors, on a warm fall day. 

there are some beautiful beech trees here


A wee little anole

beech canopy foliage is beautiful in every season

Silk orb weavers were still around, at this point we hadn't had a frost yet

part of the trail, appears to be an old logging road
