Highland Park Blizzard

I truly love hiking through Highland Park in Rochester. Each season brings something new, and each terrain adds interest. This past weekend we – Noa and I – headed out for an afternoon romp in the snow. Just as we got to the park a lake effect blizzard struck. What fun! The first image is the entrance to the esker off the corner of Doctors Drive and Mount Vernon Avenue.The second is as we climb out of the esker towards the greenhouse at Reservoir Avenue and South Avenue– normally you can see through the opening and up to the top of the esker. The final image is down Robinson Drive where usually we romp through the forest but on this day couldn’t even manage to climb the snow pile embankment off the sidewalk. We both returned to the house ‘abominable’.
