Take a breather from the city and spend a day in the beautiful Hudson Valley. We have a marvelous adventure planned that has a little something for everyone. You will start the day hiking scenic trails at the Lake Minnewaska State Park.  We’ll also stop by a farm stand and an orchard that features hard cider.

    It’s about 2.5 miles or 90 minutes
  • Along the way on the hike we will stop for lunch.
  • Later in the afternoon we will head to a local hard cider orchard for
    socializing and samples.
