On April 3rd our class took a drive to Azure mountain, it was about an hour or so drive. It was a beautiful but windy day.

Azure Mountain is located in the Town of Waverly, NY. Azure is a part of the Debar Mountain Wild Forest, locally known as "Blue Mountain". The roundtrip hiking distance is about two miles. The elevation of the summit is 2,518 feet.

In 1914 the 35 foot tall Fire Observation Station was constructed of wood. The Fire tower was then restored and made of steel.

We arrived at the top of the mountain, and man was it windy! The view was absolutely breath-taking. The photographs I took don't nearly do it justice.

Habitat: top of a mountain, mountains, forest

What I found interesting: when I reached the top of Azure, I was completely blown away (pun intended!!). The view was unreal. The picture does not do it justice. Views from tops of mountains are always very intriguing to me. I very much enjoyed this lab.
