The Hudson River Valley is easily one of the most picturesque parts of the country, from the rolling hills, beautiful wildlife and gorgeous fall foliage to the quaint little towns and local businesses that can turn a simple afternoon drive into a great memory. Many people find themselves feeling in need of a break once October hits, with the demanding schedules of school, work and family taking the majority of our energy. When the holidays finally come around, you’ll need to be recharged and ready for the usual craziness of the season.
Why not plan a peaceful day trip around the Hudson Valley? We’ve compiled some tips for creating an amazing day in the Hudson Valley this autumn.
Book a Chauffeured VehicleFew things can put a kink in relaxation like navigating in an unfamiliar city and fighting traffic. Don’t let your Hudson Valley excursion be diminished by the stressors of driving; leave it to someone else. Booking a chauffeured vehicle is the simplest and most dependable answer to this issue. Your chauffeur will handle every detail of pickup, navigation and drop off throughout the day so all you have to do is enjoy the ride, the company of your family or significant other and the beauty of the natural Hudson Valley.
Visit the Village of NyackA low-key and beautiful Victorian town, Nyack is the kind of place that makes your relaxing day off everything it should be and more. In addition to the numerous business, local restaurants and historical stops you and yours can take throughout your trip through Nyack, they also offer gorgeous scenic parks that are perfect for a picnic or an afternoon nap under a tree. Nyack’s 11-acre Memorial Park has baseball fields, a basketball court, a children’s playground and a butterfly garden. Take the camera and snap a few shots of the leaves, the old structures and the general beauty of this sleepy little town.
Boscobel RestorationAnother beautiful place to consider stopping during your drive through the Hudson River Valley is this beautiful early 19th century Federal-period mansion, which was completed in 1808 and remains one of the most lauded collections of period furniture and décor in the country. Boscobel is open to visitors every day of the week except Tuesdays, and they hold special events for visitors throughout the year, including a “Family Bonfire Night” and a “Music in the Mansion” night this coming autumn.
Finding the best places to experience the majesty of the Hudson River Valley is easy if you know where to look; from the quaint towns and lovely parks to the scenery available from the road, the Hudson River Valley will provide you and your family or loved ones with a great day for relaxing and enjoying one another’s company.
