So we completed our first hike of 2023 - The Bull Hill Loop in the Hudson Highlands of New York.
The weather was grey and cloud - so just drab in general but atleast it wasn't freezing. The hike wasn't very taxing and we completed in under 4 hours with plenty of stops along the way.

Towards the end of the hike we passed through the ruins of the Cornish Estate which was partially burned down in a fire in the 1950's. Project Northgate is aimed to study and restore some of the ruins mainly through interpretation
Tucked away in the woods of Cold Spring, NY stands a hauntingly beautiful collection of ruins called Northgate (or the Cornish Estate). In 1917, Edward J. Cornish and his wife Selina acquired the 650 acre estate from a Chicago diamond merchant, Sigmund Stern. Stern built the estate the decade before, but to this day no one knows who the architect was. In 1938, the couple died within two weeks of each other, with Edward dying at his desk in NYC. The estate remained under the care of Cornish’s nephew Joel until a fire destroyed the majority of the mansion in 1956.
