This section OF the read passes large and
beautiful residences. which are situated
on the hillside. Notice very fine view
across the Hudson just before entering
Tarrytown.
Main street leading to the ferry is very
steep and we suggest to those motorist;
who lack confidence in their brakes tc
go on North Broadway. take left oil
Central avenue and left on Orchard
street entering Main street just before
the railroad crossing.
The tourist should make a point OF
taking in the views up and down the
river during the crossing. To the north
the Hook Mountain can be seen With
its base jutting into the river. To fhe
south there is hilly country on both sides
of the river.
Landing at Burd street. Nyack, we get

eiermont avenue or Broadway and pro-
ceed west TO Midland avenue, where turI

This section is extremely picturesque
The road rises to 500 feet above the
Hudson and panoramas spread before
us right and left--the Hudson with hills
on its eastern side, the Ramapo Range
standing UP like series of Irregular
cones and Hook Mountain in front. A
little further along the road just before
descending the hill fine vista Of Rock
land Lake and the surrounding country
opens before us, then nice drive with
views alongside Rockland Lake itself.
Keep left on the road to Congers

crossed between Rockland Lake village
and Congers We turn right after pass

road we again reach high ground over

these mountains.
Looking back over the Hudson, Croton

one point on the road view is obtained
which takes in the full length of this
range to the south. and the tourist
should not miss this feature.
