Another contender for best Hudson River town. Beacon at least warrants a mention. With plenty of trails near by and an excellent modern art museum (at least that's what I've heard), Beacon can lay its claim to the title. Today I checked out its Riverside Trail.
It did not disappoint. If the clouds did not roll in, I can only imagine how much more commanding the views of Sugarloaf, Breakneck and Storm King would be. From here there were also views of Schunnemunk and Mt Beacon. Right across the river, Newburgh's (another contender?) waterfront was in view. I've never thought much of Newburgh, but its waterfront looked quite appealing. That will have to wait another day.
Beacon is a cute little town. Good place to go for hot chocolate after a winter hike in the highlands. I don't much care for Newburgh.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you've never thought much of Newburgh. The waterfront is ok but the rest of it is a shithole. Beacon, on the other hand, has gotten much better in recent years. First pic is nice with Sugarloaf, Storm King and an austere sky above.
