Poughkeepsie was my
starting point for my tour of the Adirondacks
I plan to do this again a few times before I move out of NYC, it's a great getaway point for touring NY State. But that's a bit too long of a commute though. I'd like to keep it under one hour. I love the Gunks though, some of my favorite hikes are around Minnewaska Park and Sam's Point Preserve, not to mention the Catskills.
