Late summer is the perfect time to take a break from the chaos and close quarters of city life in New York by taking a trip upstate. If that sounds like too much trouble, don’t worry; planning a day trip doesn’t have to be complicated. There are plenty of towns upstate that are easily accessible and don’t require a great deal of preparation to visit: just pack what you need for the day, get your Metro North ticket and set out for a day of adventure. Want to explore one of the best destinations coming from New York City? You’ll want to check out Cold Spring.
With its vast series of hiking adventures and charming downtown life, there’s no reason to pass up a trip to Cold Spring just 60 miles from New York City. And if it’s an action-packed trip, you’ll need the 90-minute recovery train ride on the way home.
