September 2, 2019 urban hike - Seneca Park - Rochester, NY - 5 miles

I ordered a pocket size Rochester hike guide from Amazon.  It has easy day hikes in and near Rochester. I'm not sure why I've never seen a pocket sized hike guide before.  Some hikes are intricate enough we end up carrying around the book for most of the distance.

This hike was along the bluffs above the Genesee River starting near the Seneca Park Zoo.  The first part of the walk is on a really cool elevated walkway and bridge far above the river surface.  I'm not sure why they went to such expense to build an overpass type walkway on the hillside when there is also a trail at the natural top of the bluff but it's pretty cool.

The rest of the walk was more 'traily'
