Synopsis

A brand-new hiking guide to the scenic Hudson Valley region south of Albany. This all-new guide to hiking the Hudson River Valley reveals 50 walks and hikes from the East Hudson Highlands, to Rockland County and Harriman Park, to the West Hudson Hills, to the Shawangunks, and more. Green and Zimmerman are expert guides to this region rich in history and culture. Hikers will discover some of the most spectacular viewpoints in the region, places that inspired the Hudson River school of painting and that still convey a unique sense of wildness. Most of the hikes in this guide are within a two-hour drive of New York City; an at-a-glance overview chart makes it easy to choose a trip for hikers of all abilities. Each hike description includes a topographical map, driving directions, mileage and rise, and a detailed trail description. 40 black and white photographs, 51 maps, index.
