October 2019 | Cold Spring & Peekskill, NY

What an adventure we had on this Fall HikeDay!! For this one we took advantage of two locations. First we trekked through Cold Spring and then headed to Peekskill, NY for dinner and Happy Hour at the Peekskill Brewery.

After we arrived in Cold Spring, we jumped off the train with enthusiasm and excitement, perhaps too much excitement - for we started the hike about 3 times before we found the trail we really wanted! The hike, to quote AllTrials, was a “moderate trail” that included a trek up about 1400 ft to the Bull Hill where we espied a glimpse of the New York City skyline from 53 miles away. When we finally reached the peak of our hike we did some light asana, meditation, breathwork, and ate all the snacks we’d packed.

We just love these HikeDays!! May 4, 2019 was #4.

Our group of 24 wonderful souls joined us for our first excursion to Cold Spring, NY. After a smooth train ride up to Cold Spring, our trek begin with a mile walk straight up Main St to reach the trailhead. Once on the trail we climbed over rocks and through the trees up 1400ft to Bull Hill hoping to catch a glimpse of the New York City Skyline 53 miles away. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and was not collaborating for such a view.

October 2018 | Poughkeepsie, NY

Our third HikeDay was a blast. This hike we chose to head to Poughkeepsie, NY. This turned out to be a 8-9mile day where we tackled various terrain. The start and the closing of the hike was we walking over the longest bridge in the world “Walkway over the Hudson” build all the way back in 1889. Once off the Bridge we trekked a few more miles through Franny Reese State Park with the fresh fall foliage covering our path with newly fallen leaves. It was gorgeous. Closing out the day with delicious food and libations at Mahoney’s Irish Pub inside the old Vassar Brewery.
