Kaaterskill Falls in Saugerties, NY and the Saugerties Lighthouse.  Our 1st hike together.  The walk to the lighthouse is a breeze.  It’s a nice little lighthouse to walk around and take pictures of.  The hike to Kaaterskill Falls is a moderate hike.  There is a small parking lot just up the road from the trail entrance.  The pathway is mostly rocks that are easy to walk on.  It’s all up hill.  There are 2 waterfalls that come together at the trail end.  The upper waterfall flows down into the lower.  There is an unmarked trail that you can take to the upper waterfall, but it is a little risky.  It is very narrow and one slip could take you down the edge.  If you are capable of accessing this trail, do it because you could probably jump in the water up there.  There is also a short trail down another road that takes you to the top of the falls.  People have been carving their names in the stone at the top of the falls since the late 1800s.
