Lake Minnewaska and Lake Awosting

Nathaniel, Hannah and I enjoyed a long afternoon hike in the Shwangunks with our friends, Nicholas, Natalie and Emily. We hiked a loop in Minnewaska State Park from Lake Minnewaska to Lake Awosting. The weather was beautiful. Blue skies and puffy white clouds graced the sky. Minnewaska State Park is among the most beautiful state parks I have visited. Striking views of rock cuts and the valley were plentiful along the 7-mile trail.
