Mount Beacon Park

While the Hudson Highlands offer many different trails for hikers of varying experience levels, Beacon Mountain constitutes the two highest peaks. Mount Beacon Park lets visitors follow a winding path while working up a sweat and taking in the gorgeous Hudson Valley region. Check out this site for a pretty solid run-down of other trails at Mount Beacon. Take the Metro-North Hudson line to the Beacon Station. Culture yourself and visit Dia : Beacon while you're in the neighborhood.
