Blue and yellow sailboats on Rondout Creek connecting to the Hudson River in Kingston, NY.
We had some extra time this morning and saw a trailhead for Overlook Mountain Wild Forest. We stopped and had a nice little hike to start the day.
Great way to spend the afternoon. Sailing on the Hudson River. ⛵️

We have had a delightful time staying in the Modern Accord Depot in Accord, NY. Staying in a renovated train station has been a unique and fun experience. A Train Caboose in the yard to play in was incredible. A dance studio to have fun in as well?
Historic Huguenot Street
We took a tour of Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz, New York today. It was an interesting peek into this pocket of Calvanism in New York and the critical role that the founding 12 houses made in the area. We got a tour of a native Wigwam that was common before the Huguenots arrival. Then a recreation of a church. Finally we toured the Jean Hasbrouck house.

Biking Wallkill Valley Rail Trail
This morning we rented bikes from New Paltz Biking and took a 16.2 miles round-trip ride on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. It was a wonderful ride and the Trellis Bridge 160 feet above the Hudson River provided immense views. We turned around at the Ice Caves that felt like you were standing in front of a giant air conditioner.
