Poor Henry Hudson. Four hundred years ago, he
viewed the beautiful mid-Hudson Valley from the deck of the Half
Moon. We’re so much luckier. We can enjoy hundreds of miles of
foot trails that scale mountains, meander through meadows, explore
historic towns and cities, and look back down at the river from
where he gazed upon our countryside. Enjoy trails that range from paved, easy-strolling rail trails to rocky scrambles up mountainsides. Choose whatever matches your skills and your idea of a good time. Register with Grand Walkabout, track your miles and trails traveled through September of 2009, and earn awards for your efforts. We’ll send you a pedometer, while supplies last, to help you keep track. It’s all free, even the pedometer. You also can become a friend of Grand Walkabout on Facebook. It's a good way to keep up with GWA news and hang out with other walkers and hikers. You might use it to pull together a hiking group of your own, or to get ideas of new places to go. Click on the Trails List button at left and download a list of trails in the four counties. Behind the Log Your Miles button is a tally form to keep track of your adventures. To register, send your name, mailing address, email address and phone number to trailwalker@grandwalkabout.com. Or call 845-255-7742. |
