Photo of the Day: Alpine Picnic Area, NJ

The Alpine Picnic Area, operated by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, is adjacent to the Alpine Boat Basin. It is roughly seven miles north of the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge and opposite Yonkers, New York. I took this photo two years ago. I can’t imagine that even these trees offer the kind of relief needed from the intolerable heat wave we’re experiencing now.
