Only one hour away, yet it seems very far is Hudson Valley New York. Mountains dropping into the Hudson River is where the towns Cold Springs and Beacon, New York are located. Along the Hudson River are many hiking places and trail with beautiful views of the Hudson Valley. Cold Springs is an upscale town with a few restaurants and a town divided by a railroad and boats dotting the harbor surrounded with large green hills. Beacon New York is about 8 miles north of Cold Springs and has more of a hipster vibe. There is a beautiful church with mountains in the background, a free art gallery to visit and many cafes on the Main street. Near the harbor is Long Dock Park, a very picturesque park with trails leading to the Hudson River. We bought gourmet Italian ice here and it was so enjoyable. After eating dinner in Cold Spring, we went to West Point Preserve for a sunset walk with views overlooking the lakes and deer running around. It was such a fun day. Take a ride to Hudson Valley, such a beautiful area!
