Seneca Rocks in Winter

There are some beautiful pine trees clinging to the top of the rocks at Seneca Rocks. They live their lives overseeing a breathtaking vista generally reserved for rock climbers and mountain goats. Seneca Rocks offers those of us who don't lead-climb access to these views.

This weekend we planned to cross country ski at Whitegrass but there wasn't much snow and it was melting fast. Instead, we drove down to Seneca Rocks and made the quick 40 minute hike to the top and a view that couldn't be beat. I have visited Seneca Rocks several times in the summer only to be a bit disappointed at the hazy skies. But a winter hike is much better. The skies are crystal clear and you can see for miles and miles.The views are better all along the trail because the leaves are off the trees. So, if you are in the area and disappointed by a lack of snow, take a quick jaunt down to Seneca Rocks. You won't miss the crowds of summer and the view is inspiring! Panaorama from the Top
