Easy 4-mile loop along Hudson Highlands with wooded paths, bamboo groves, and several outlooks over the Hudson River and West Point from the Garrison Institute and Arden Point. Extremely accessible — start at Garrison Metro‑North (short 90 min from NYC) or weekend/train-station parking; no entry fee. Best in golden hour and fall foliage; weekday mornings are quieter. Trails are mostly flat and family/dog friendly; bring layers for river breezes.
