Albany County steep-slope & wetlands.
Albany County rises from flat Hudson River lowlands to the Helderberg Escarpment, whose limestone cliffs above Thacher Park mark an abrupt jump in slope. The Pine Bush's rare inland dunes and the Vly and Black Creek marshes give the county a surprising amount of regulated wetland.
