Quaint inn stays, great meals, professional guides and spectacular scenery.
Sweeping river vistas, mountains rising up from the river s edge, pristine forever wild land, dramatic gorges, glacial lakes, tumbling waterfalls. This is the scenery that launched our first national school of art, the 19th century Hudson River School, and drew the eye of the world to America s beauty for the first time. Hike the artists footpaths to the very vistas that inspired the famous Hudson River School paintings found in museums worldwide. Walk the paths of American presidents and potentates on the carriage roads and nature trails that thread through their lush estates overlooking the Hudson River. Trace the steps of 17th century Dutch and Huguenot settlers whose stone villages still stand in the valley.
