November 17, 2019 Urban hike - Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester NY - About 3 miles

What a stunner this was.  It was completely spontaneous, we were in town for some mundane reason that escapes me right now and decided it would be nice to try for a walk.  I pulled out the phone and used AllTrails and tried to find something that might be mostly paved or cleared of snow.  This was mostly paved but not really cleared on snow but I'm pretty sure neither of us cared once we got into it because these cemetery grounds are aaamazing.  Wonderful sculpted grounds that went up and down over and over (gently) with numerous beautiful vantage points to look up, down or across the land.  It was both the largest and the most lovingly plotted out cemetery I'd ever been to.
