The creative approaches to mundane concerns, such as protection of specimen plantings from natural predators, are an inspiration to those of us wishing to take the Mohonk philsophy home with us. Take pictures. Take notes. Revel in it.

Was a beautiful Place and has trails and outstanding views. Getting up to the hotel was a little drive but a very pretty drive.

I can use words like breathtaking, magical, enchanting, awe-inspiring, but it's not enough. This preserve is just too incredible to describe.
My favorite trail is the Labyrinth, which leads to Lemon Squeeze. This one can be kind of pricey, though, since you have to pay the Mohonk Mountainhouse Day pass, last I checked it was $25 per person with small...
