DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBE YOU?

- You enjoy hiking in the fresh mountain air.
- You are visiting New York City for a few days or longer.
- You venture off the beaten path when you travel and like to find unique hidden gems most tourists don't know about.
- You love taking photographs of landscapes and other natural scenes.
- All of the above!

If you said 'yes' to any or all of the above, keep reading to find out why the Mountains, Falls & a Funky Little Town itinerary is a day-trip designed for you!

THE MOUNTAINS

Just 90 minutes north of the greatest city on earth , lays the Shawangunk and Catskill Mountains*. The Shawangunk Mountain Ridge is famous in the rock-climbing world because it best climbing spot on the East Coast. For those who don't enjoy hanging off rock-faces, however, the Shawangunk Mountains are filled with hiking trails through forest, meadow, and marshy habitats as well as natural glacial lakes, waterfalls, and views of the Hudson Valley.

*For all my fact-lovers and literature geeks, the Catskills are the setting for the famous Rip Van Winkle stories!

NATURAL GLACIAL LAKES, RIVERS, & WATERFALLS

The Shawangunks contain several natural mountain-top glacial lakes that provide visitors stunning views and a chance to take a cool dip in water so clean you can drink it! This day-trip itinerary includes a mild-moderate hike around one of the most popular of those glacial lakes and a short walk to a nearby 60 ft waterfall.

FOOD & DRINK

With an itinerary meant to keep you on your toes, it's a good thing that fresh food and drink will be an important part of your day. Start out at the hottest brunch spot in town and finish off at a hoppin' brewpub with seasonal and year-round beers on tap. The itinerary is also jam-packed with additional food & drink suggestions and even includes a visit to a boutique chocolate store with organic, vegan, and specialty hand-crafted chocolates...right on the Rail Trail!

A BIT OF HISTORY!

The 'funky' little town of New Paltz was founded in the late 1600's by the French Huguenots and still retains some of the original buildings right along the lazy Walkill River. After an afternoon in the mountains, learn about local history and lore on the Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

The Appendix in Mountains, Falls & a Funky Little Town includes suggestions for additional hiking and biking trails, local hotspots for good eats & treats, annual cultural events & festivals, and seasonal suggestions like snowshoeing or rock climbing in the 'Gunks . The best time to visit the Hudson Valley is April - November, but those who come December-March can also enjoy this itinerary in winter with the right cold-weather gear.

NOT QUITE CONVINCED?

I chose to write the Mountains, Falls & a Funky Little Town itinerary because The Hudson Valley and New Paltz was my home for nearly three years. Natives of the area know that the Hudson Valley is one of New York State's best kept secrets! Most people fly into JFK or LaGuardia and spend all their time beneath the skyscrapers of Manhattan without realizing that magnificent outdoor scenes and vibrant towns lie just north of "the City" . A haven for artists, foodies, and nature-lovers, the small towns that are sprinkled across the wilderness of the Hudson Valley are undeniably enriched and infused by the talent and energy that flows up from the weekenders and former residents of New York City.
