Hudson River from Bear Mountain




During thanksgiving break, I went over to bear mountain to check out the Hudson river.

Near the peak of the mountain, I got a good view of the river and the wildlife surrounding the area. There weren't a lot of animals around, but there were some interesting plant life that I found.

There were also a few buildings across the river which might have been either residential or military, as West Point and Fort Montgomery are nearby.

The building that was on top of the mountain is the Perkins Tower, which was completed in 1934 and dedicated to the Chairman of the Palisades Interstate Commission, George W. Perkins. It stands 40 feet tall and is made of stone.
