One Last Walk on the Empire Trail (8/30/26)

It’s hard to believe, but Bob and I only have a week left in Tarrytown with the adorable and amusing Bella and Cleo. As the next few days are to be rainy, and we will get busy with last minute errands and housecleaning and yard work, we headed back to the Empire Trail today a little further north than we’ve been on it. So, here’s a few snaps from the outing.

Where we entered the trail from a large trailhead
off of Highway 117 in Pleasantville
We started at the trailhead across from Pace University
and ended after the railroad looking lines
by the Law Park and Library .
These lines indicate the trail is on the shoulder of a road.
Going under a road to begin the walk on the trail
We passed this mile marker shortly after we started.
We turned around a bit after the 20 mile marker.
The beginning of a road crossing
Again, a very nicely shaded trail and busy on a Sunday at midday.
The trail along the shoulder of the road.
This actually felt quite safe.
We were more stressed by the cyclists flying by us on the trail without giving any warning.
An old rail station along the route
A ball field and residences along the trail
We crossed the road to continue on the trail off of the shoulder and back on the ”land.”
This part of the trail had a creek running next to it.
We turned around at the next road crossing.

We have tickets tomorrow for a tour, so there will be at least one more blog before we head out.
