New York Aggies Cold Spring Hike

Hope everyone is enjoying spring (or what feels like summer)! With longer days and warm weather finally here, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors and explore the Hudson Valley with fellow Aggies in the NYC area.

On Sunday, June 14, we’ll take a day trip to the charming town of Cold Spring, just about 90 minutes north of Manhattan on the Metro-North Hudson Line. We’ll be hiking Bull Hill (good for all experience levels), with trail options depending on group size and interest. After the hike, we’ll have time to grab ice cream, browse the local shops, and enjoy downtown Cold Spring before heading back to Manhattan in the evening.
