Saratoga Monument

Neat monument. Even though it is closed, still fun to see and the kids had a great time climbing the stairs and jumping to the grass. Walk through the cemetery to get to the Victory Trail was long for little legs, so would probably drive the middle parking lot for the trail next time.

It was so easy to get to and such a serene place. You get plenty of privacy to explore in your own space and they have plaques to read all around. There are bathrooms and a small designated lot to park in.

You can feel the history.. gives off a vibe i can't describe

Quite the monument to feast your eyes upon. Very historical and sacred. The monument is currently closed to go into due to the pandemic but you can venture around the property. Commemorating Burgoyne's surrender to Gates, this 155-foot stone obelisk (completed in 1883) stands where Burgoyne's camp entrenched during the campaign's final days. When open, climb stairs to the top for a 360 degree view of the Hudson River Valley.

Great place for a run.
