Just came back from a very relaxing hike in upstate New York. I hiked the Breakneck Ridge trail for the first time with one of my best friends last year. Missed it so much I decided to do it again this week. My friend is abroad so I decided to hike solo, but it turns out there were so many other hikers out this weekend so I definitely wasn’t alone.
If you want to hike the longest trail loop, the one that goes all the way from Breakneck Ridge to Coldspring, I recommend taking an Amtrak train to Breakneck Station. If you do so, you can hike to Coldspring Village, have a meal, and then take the train back from Coldspring station without worries of having to go back and get your car. The Breakneck Ridge trail starts off extremely steep, pictured above.
I stopped at Hudson House River Inn (2 Main Street) in Coldspring for a delicious portobello-mushroom veggie burger before returning to the city.
Wishing you a wonderful fall-season,
Seena
