Cliff Running Along Newport's Cottages

A morning appointment in Newport, Rhode Island today meant that this morning's run was spent on Newport's famous Cliff Walk, a National Recreation Trail that winds its way between waves crashing along rocky cliffs on one side, and the "cottages" of Newport's Gilded Age on the other.

I snapped a few photos along the way; enjoy!

The beach at Easton Bay.

Some of the walkways are fenced in...some of them with pretty steep dropoffs.

Vinland Estate

Ochre Court

Beautiful views

Alva Vanderbilt's Chinese Tea House (at Marble House)

Lots of sea birds

The start of a beautiful day

Have a great day, friends, and see you on the trail!
