    Getting TO/AROUND: The train system in metropolitan NY is pretty bleak if you are use to Trains in Europe or Japan but it is wonderful for those of us who live outside the city and want a way in without facing all the traffic. The Metro North Train along the Hudson River is in fact quite a nice trip in all season, In the fall the colors are beautiful in the winter with all the leaves gone one has a beautiful view of the palisades and Storm King and Bear mountain on the west side of the Hudson river. Metro-North is a suburban commuter rail to New York City from up north or as the NYC crowd likes to say up state. The trains run to NYC from Wassaic, Poughkeepsie, Port Jervis, and Spring Valley, and in from Connecticut ithey come from New Canaan, Danbury, Waterbury, and New Haven.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Beautiful Hudson Valley is wonderful to see from the River and there are lots of chances to do just that as in the River has lots of Cruise ships. And all along the River there are place to catch a Hudson cruse boat. The oldest the MV commander built in 1917.

    May 1st through October, the M.V. Commander cruises on the Hudson river from West Haverstraw, West Point and Peekskill

    Fares vary depending on the particular cruise, but range from $12 to $24 for adults and $10 to $22 for senior citizens and children.

     not boring at all, you put things in perspective. Your New York State page, Hudson River, Appalachian Trail... meaningful to me. You guessed close, I am from Québec -- and to the World.
