Scenic drives
in the Hudson Valley

 

Scenic drives
The ideal weekend:

- One day and night being spoiled rotten at a resort.
- A second day taking a scenic drive through glorious countryside.

      
And you're inside, at the resort or in your car, whatever the weather.

PICK ONE FROM COLUMN A,


Lucas Turnpike, farmland drive (map)
An old turnpike, now public, through romantic farmland, with enjoyable stops. Take in Kingston's Old City to make it a full day.


Hills, harbor, canal, farms, towns (map)
A long and very varied day's drive, full of interest. Runs from New Paltz to Rondout Harbor.


Hudson Rive Gauche, Rive Droite (map)
Shopper's delight. This drive hits the finest country shopping, including both Rhinebeck and Woodstock, via country lanes. Another full-day drive.
