Day 58 Albion to Rochester, NY

38.29 miles, 424 feet. We quickly turned once again onto the Erie Canal Trail this morning. We encountered a fair number of walkers and bikers. We stopped for a short coffee and orange juice at Brockport. The trail surface kept changing- first crushed rock, then nice pavement and then a narrow single track for a bit. We got to watch one of the bridges raise for a boat to go underneath.

With around 15 miles to the end, we turned back to the road for a bi and crossed over the trail. Once we reached the outskirts of Rochester, we were back on urban trails and on the opposite side of the canal. At one point we crossed several bridges where the Erie Canal bisected the Genesee River.

After lunch and showers, our Sag leader Steve drove us in the van to Lake Ontario. It was a treat to cross another Great Lake off our list! Only Lake Huron to go.Read more
