Get out of the hot city and into the cool wood! Spend a summer day out of the city and explore the beautiful Hudson Valley! The Slabsides is an easy 2 mile highlighted by waterfalls, stunning rock formations and a beautiful pond. It was also the sanctuary for John Burroughs the American Naturalist who would write his essays from a small historic cabin on the property. Following the hike we will visit the Culinary Institute of America’s student cafeteria for lunch. After the Institute we will walk off more calories on the famous Walkway Across The Hudson 1.4 mile elevated historic pedestrian bridge over the Hudson. You will be on the 3:55pm train back to NYC

Can I come alone? Yes, most guests do! It’s a great way to meet new people.
