HIKE COVER STONE CHURCH (NY STATE NATURE WONDER)
A nature preserve whose highlight is a stunning rock formation and waterfall in a cave. It was used by Native Americans as a hideout in the 17th century, and then for weddings in the 19th century. Dover Stone Church's highlight is a metamorphic rock cavern in the shape of a church’s cathedral window with a cascading waterfall through the cave’s interior. The Stone Church Brook, a tributary of the Ten Mile River, flows through and out the cavern entrance. The entrance is located off Route 22 below the traffic light in Dover Plains. More info here: https://dutchesstourism.com/listingsv/dover-stone-church
Head out on this 3.5-mile loop trail near Dover Plains, New York. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 37 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, running, and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are April through November. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas. Check out the trail: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/dover-stone-church

VISIT WALKWAY OVER THE HUDSON (THE WORLD LONGEST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE)
Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park is the World's Longest Elevated Pedestrian Bridge, spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland, New York in the beautiful Hudson Valley. Originally opened in 1889 as the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge, the Walkway was a thoroughfare for trains until 1974, when a great fire twisted the tracks and ended its service as a rail line. From 1974 until the mid-2000s, the bridge sat dormant until the completion of a grassroots community campaign to adapt the structure into a pedestrian park led to the opening of Walkway Over the Hudson in 2009. To date, more than seven million people have visited to walk, run, bike, skate, stroll, and take in breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree views of the Hudson River and its scenic surroundings. We can spend 1.5 hours on Walkway Over the Hudson after lunch. More info on: https://walkway.org/visit/
