Greene County

Greene County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. Its name is in honor of the American Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene. As of the 2010 census, the population was 49,221. Its county seat is Catskill. It is part of the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Greene County is located in southeast central New York State, just west of the Hudson River and south of Albany.

The northern and eastern regions are mostly low-lying flatlands. Along the Hudson River the lowest elevation is at sea level. The southern and western areas rise sharply into the Catskill Mountains.

Catskill Park takes up much of the south central region. The park contains some of the tallest peaks south of the Adirondacks. For example, the highest elevation is Hunter Mountain, at approximately 4,040 feet (1,232 m) above sea level; In addition, there are many picturesque waterfalls in the park such as the famed, Kaaterskill Falls.

Hudson River

The deep cut into the earth is not from mining, but the cut and fill of the NYS Thruway which forever has left a great gash in the landscape. But it's fast, to get cars racing from Albany to NYC the proponets say.

Sunrise Chicken Farm

In these barns, laid out so nicely along Cauterskill Road are thousands of chickens producing eggs for the commerical egg market. They really stick out as one views them from the Catskill Mountain House Ruins.

Mount Airy

And beyond it, Mount Marion. You can see how Route 32 cuts over Mount Airy, which isn't a mountain in the proper sense, but some bumps in the landscape, at least compared to the Catskills
