Our hike up the steep-ish trail to the cliffs of Crow Hills was a little tricky thanks to a carpet of fallen leaves and some
icy patches, but the scenery and views made it well worth the trek.

Roisin, Madeline and Astha make their way up the trail to the base of the cliffs. With winter's early arrival, the ledges above were already decked out in lovely icicles. |

We stopped to investigate a twisty sculpture off in the woods before hiking to the top of the cliffs, where we were rewarded by more great views.

The cliffs in both directions were amazing, plus a dizzying view straight down.

Roisin and Madeline head north along the Midstate Trail, where Greg encounters more icicles.

Crow Hills, as seen from Crow Hills Pond at the end of our hike. We trekked left to right across the top of the hills and then looped down and around Crow Hills Pond back to our starting point.

The pond was thinly frozen over and we made comical attempts to crack through the ice with small stones, which simply pinged off the surface. Roisin launched a heavier rock in a valiant final try, but it landed on top with a solid thud!
