hiking in rochester, 2003

Here are some photos I took while hiking around Rochester in the days following Christmas. First I went to Frisbee Hill Park, west of Rocester near Braddock's Bay, with Todd and Curt. Then I went hiking with Curt, Tina, Derek and Dana the next day. We went on a trail into the Genessee River gorge called (no kidding) the Seth Green Trail. It's named after a 19th century settler in Rochester who sold fish and chowder, then went on to become a conservationist before finally dying and having an island, a trail and a road named after him.
