Hudson Valley Hike & Lunch

Join alums from HGSC and beyond for a 2-3 hr hike

 

Join HGSC for a hike in the beautiful Hudson Valley led by local alum Eric Raleigh Tipler (AB '99).

We depart Grand Central to Poughkeepsie at 8:50 a.m., arriving in Cold Spring at 10:16 a.m. We'll stop at a gas station en route to the trailhead, so there will be time to buy for coffee and last-minute provisions. 

The updated plan is to head up Bull Hill via the Undercliff Trail, to avoid the crush of out-of-towners who arrive on the weekend. It should be 2-3 hours out and back, and should be a rewarding (and somewhat exhausting) experience for all. We'll stop for lunch together in Cold Spring before heading back to the city on trains that leave every hour.

Enjoy the sun, the glory of the Hudson Valley, and connections with alums from Harvard and beyond. Bring friends to enjoy the spectacular views, with a few steep ascents but no rock-scrambling to worry about.
