About this trip

New York's Hudson River Valley is a beautiful and dramatic region rich in history, arts and culture. When fall foliage transforms the hills and valleys framing the majestic river into mosaics of red, yellow, orange, and gold, the landscape is breathtaking. The Empire State also has one of the best paved rail-trail networks in the country. This tour will traverse well over 100 miles of them as we explore farmland, forests, and wetlands, crossing the Hudson four times including on several spectacular bridges that endure as engineering marvels of their day. The tour starts and ends in Saratoga Springs, known for world-class horse racing, renowned performing arts and natural springs spas, plus 13 golf courses, 10 museums, a historic battlefield, fabulous boutiques, antiques and restaurants; you might want to come early or stay for the weekend after the Tour! Along the way we'll stay overnight in the state capital of Albany, the quaint villages of Hudson and Fishkill, and the town of New Paltz.  We'll visit wineries, breweries, farmstands, and ice cream shops, stay in historic inns and B&Bs, and enjoy some fabulous cuisine. We finish up with a quick tour of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, founded in 1802.

We had a great time! Wonderful people, good food, excellent staff helped make this experience unforgettable. Enjoyed alot of the stops like the Turtle Hospital and Dolphin performance. The only challenge was riding on the busy road much of the trip. Will definitely participate in a Senior Cycling trip again!!!

We had a good trip. Everything was great, but we spent a lot of time riding on the busy Key highway.
