Summers in Ithaca, NY are very rarely beat. There is a relaxed atmosphere, the great outdoors, and an unmatched scenic beauty. As an ode to summer, I just wanted to share another of my hiking adventures. Although it was not as far as my Six Mile Creek adventure, a friend an I returned to Ithaca's Gun Hill for a quick walk around, completing my July 4th hike.
The abandoned site offers many great views of industrial remains, natural beauty, and impressive grafitti. Additionally, it is a technically challenging hike (and slightly illegal) but very rewarding.
You can take a peak into the famous Ithaca Gun Stack...
Or some of the additional abandoned structures...
Overall, a great way to spend a waining summer afternoon.
