THE HIKE:
On a long awaited gorgeous, sunny, 51 degree day in the middle of the week, a long lunch hour was in order.
 |
We went out on the first pier where apparently dogs are allowed because there was no sign. Dogs are not allowed on the other two piers along the way.

 |
Perth Amboy Wildlife
|
 |
The walkway splits and we intended to loop back from the left but it turned out to be too icy that way.
|
 |
The back of a Veterans Memorial.
|
 |
The would be that Great Beds Lighthouse across the Raritan Bay.
|
 |
Another possibility to loop a section when the upper level is not icy.
|
 |
Raritan Yacht Club
|
 |
No dogs allowed on these piers.
|
 |
This would be the end where we tried to loop around but ran into ice.
|
 |
There were some clear steps to the upper level so we gave that a try.
|
 |
You can see three different levels - the highest where we were and one on either side of the parking lot - some options when everything has melted.

Heading back down.

Back at the parking lot.
