We have added a 2nd Oktoberfest Party by popular demand! Fall is a beautiful time in the Hudson Valley.  Beautiful foliage, awesome sights, crisp fresh air and great food are all on the menu for our 2nd Oktoberfest Day trip.  We’ll be utilizing the grounds of the NYSN private campsite at The Vinecroft Estate in Esopus, NY and enjoy an easy/moderate hike surrounded by amazing fall foliage. Leaf peepers–this is for you! There will also be a trip to a local orchard and a walk over The Walkway Across The Hudson State Park.

What to expect:
You may take the 8:45am Metro-North train or drive to meet the group in Poughkeepsie, NY.  at 10:48am
From there your guide will pick you up in our van and bring you to an easy level 3-4 hike at a local nature preserve.  Approx. 2 miles. (1 hour 30 minutes)

Following the hike we will enjoy  an Oktoberfest meal with all the fixin’s at our private campsite (menu below).
After the hike visit a local orchard where you can pick your own apples and get fresh fall veggies and sample Hard Ciders.
After the farm stand you will have the option to go back to the train or be brought to the Walkway Across the Hudson State Park for stunning views of the valley.
You will be on the 4:50pm or 5:50pm train back to NYC.
