The other day I visited Arden Point and Glenclyffe.
Arden Point is a peninsula on the Hudson River in Garrison, NY. The trail starts at the end of the Garrison Metro North Station. From there a wooded trail parallels the train tracks and the Hudson River. It eventually divides with one trail going over the train tracks to loop around Arden Point eventually returning to the bridge over the tracks. Although not a long walk it has some impressive views looking both to the north and the south.
After you return over the railroad tracks, turn right and the trail continues to Glenclyffe is a 93-acre parcel of land on the Hudson River. It’s now the site of the Open Space Institute (housed in a quite spectacular former monastery). There’s also what now looks like, an abandoned mansion once owned by New York Governor, US Senator and Secretary of State (under Ulysses S. Grant) Hamilton Fish. Grant and President Abraham Lincoln, both visited it. One of the trails maps the route taken by Benedict Arnold as he fled down to a dock on the river, where he took a boat to H.M.S. Vulture to escape the British.
All told I walked for about three hours.
I have more pictures. If interested, you can find them here.
