On Saturday, I took the train up to Breakneck Ridge, a mountain between Beacon and Cold Spring right on the Hudson. It was the perfect late summer/ early fall weather for hiking. The views were beautiful, but in parts the hiking was much more like rock climbing. I wasn't sure what to expect on the way there, but the hiking was both fun and challenging. Scrambling over boulders 1500 hundred feet over the Hudson was a little nerve-racking, but the views from the top were totally worth. I still have bruises three days later! At the summit, I sat with my feet over the edge and watched the hawks gilde over the river. It's a really great day-trip from the city that I definitely recommend.
