MTA Outdoor Club Takes a Hike

On Chol HaMoed Sukkot the MTA Outdoors Club accompanied Mr. Yosef Gillers and Mr. and Mrs. Murray Sragow on a hike up the Storm King Mountain in Upstate New York. Storm King, which rises over 1300 feet above the Hudson River, affords many 360° views of the surrounding areas, and the mostly clear day allowed the group to enjoy the spectacular view. Along the way, the Mountain Lions also enjoyed the colorful trees as the leaves shed their plain green color and revealed beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds. It was interesting to learn the history of the site, and how a determined group of private citizens saved the mountain from a Con Edison power plant that had been planned for that area. The highlight, however, was standing at the top and enjoying hot dogs and marshmallows roasted over a fire. There’s no barbecue like a high-altitude barbecue!
