Poughkeepsie, NY
Close enough for a day trip but also nice for an overnight stay, the town of Poughkeepsie in the Hudson River Valley offers prime access to fantastic fall foliage. Take in panoramic views from the
Walkway over the Hudson, a 1.28-mile pedestrian bridge and state park that transverses the Hudson River. The
Dutchess Rail Trail also features flat routes for hiking or biking through a lush canopy of oaks and maples. Poughkeepsie is less than 2 hours from the city and accessible on Metro North or Amtrak trains (which follow a picturesque path along the Hudson).
