I'd wanted to do this walk for a long time but was concerned about the distance to travel. The day was predicted to be humid with storms but 12 of us took a chance and the place didn't disappoint.
Several of us had sung the praises of McKinney & Doyle in Pawling, one of our favorite places to eat. Seven of us went. We were surprised at the menu changes and higher prices [we hadn't eaten there for quite some time]. When the food came, however, the portions were generous and everyone said their food was delicious. Phew!

| we walked down some steps on our way into the woods |
 |
| the Stone Church Brook |
 |
| there were a lot of rocks on the trail |
 |
| there were many waterfalls along the brook |
|
 |
| we arrived at the entrance |
 |
| the interior; supposedly there's a waterfall in there but we couldn't see it and the rocks were tricky to walk on |
 |
| a litle closer |

 |
| There are 3 additional trails. Our group divided-some to cars, some to lower loop, some to upper |
 |
| I traveled the lower easier loop |
