Join us for this beautiful spring day out of the city as we enjoy the amazing sights of the Shawangunk Mountains along the Peter’s Kill Trail an easy/moderate hike at Minnewaska Park.

What to Expect:

  • You can take Metro-North to Poughkeepsie or drive to meet the group at the train station.
  • Before the hike we’ll pick up lunch at a local cafe that we will enjoy on the cliffs overlooking the Valley.
  • On the hike you will be treated to beautiful rock formations and breathtaking views. Once we hit the top of the cliffs we will stop for lunch.
  • After lunch it is back down towards the Peter’s Kill (a beautiful river/stream with natural rock formation and waterfalls which will be flowing full strength from all the melting snow and ice.
  • After the hike we will stop by a local farm stand where you can pick up local eggs, honey, maple syrup and more.
  • Our last stop will be at the Bad Seed Hard Cider Mill where you can enjoy a flight of their tasty Hard Ciders!

You will be back on the 5:54 train to NYC at the latest.
