The View from the Thatcher Park Overlook

Thatcher Park is located in south central Albany County.  This state park preserves six miles of the fossil rich Helderberg Escarpment.  

 The view from the Helderberg Escarpment in 

Thatcher Park is amazing!

On a clear day, visitors can see Vermont's Green Mountains from the escarpment.  

Signs warn visitors of the
steep drop off just past
the fence line.

Sumac, just past the fence adds

 color to the escarpment.

The upper right hand quadrant

shows homes built at the 

base of the mountain.

I zoomed in on a house

surrounded by trees.

The limestone of the 

Helderberg Escarpment

stand out against the 

autumn foliage.
