Art, History And Activity Dutchess and Sullivan, a tale of two counties As temperatures climb and humors decline this summer, sometimes the best course of action is to pack a bag and get out of the city—even if it’s only for one day. Just 90 minutes north, Dutchess and Sullivan counties in upstate New York make great destinations for daytrips or weekend getaways.

Bordered by the Hudson River and the state of Connecticut, Dutchess County offers a wide range of places to visit. One of the most popular attractions is the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, which first opened in October 2009.

“It’s sort of like the High Line—it’s an old railroad bridge,” said Nancy Lutz, spokesperson of the county’s tourism office. The pedestrian bridge, which spans the river between Poughkeepsie and Highland, is 1.28 miles long and 212 feet above the water. Cars are not allowed on the walkway, but bikes and dogs (on leashes) are welcome. “The panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River from the walkway are spectacular in any season,” Lutz said. The

walkway is open every day—and it’s free.

For those interested in history and architecture, Lutz recommends touring the six great estates in the county. “All of these estates were also farms, so they have extensive gardens and lots of land where you can picnic and hike,” Lutz said.

The historic estates include Springwood in Hyde Park, the former home and final resting place of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The grounds at Springwood also include the Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Another popular historic site is Wilderstein, a Queen Anne-style home in Rhinebeck. Starting May 21, a free outdoor sculpture exhibit of contemporary art will open on the Wilderstein grounds.

The Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, the Mills Mansion in Staatsburg, Locust Grove Estate in Poughkeepsie and Montgomery Place in Annandale-onHudson also offer tours to the public.

Art fans can also visit the Dia: Beacon contemporary art museum in Beacon, as well as the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie and the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard

The Forestburgh Playhouse’s season opens this summer with the musical Idaho!, a cross between Oklahoma! and Monty Python’s Spamalot, according to the theater’s website. “It’s our little Broadway in the woods,” Byron-Lockwood said.

Those who like to take a gamble on their vacations may want to stop by the Monticello Casino and Raceway. There are no table games, but there are about 600 video terminals. In addition, Monticello offers live entertainment and harness racing.

Putting the ‘Fun’ in Functional

Montgomery and Albany counties have plenty to do this summer

By AlAn KrAwitz The folks at the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau say that the county has attracted visitors for more than four centuries with an array of varied activities from theater, concerts and sporting events to exhilarating recreational activities such as boating, kayaking and biking.

If getting “jazzed” is on your list of priorities, then you might want to check out the Saratoga Jazz Festival (spac.org/ jazzfest) June 25 and June 26. The festival is set in the Saratoga Spa State Park, home to colorful blankets and tents for fans who covet the live, outdoor concert environment. Featuring R&B, swing, Latin jazz and fusion, the 34-year-old festival celebrates the music of artists from every corner of the jazz tradition.

Need some culture? Albany is home to several noteworthy museums including the New York State Museum (nysm.nysed.

gov), where New Yorkers can learn all about the history of the great state of New York. In addition, the Albany Institute of History and Art (albanyinstitute. org) reveals much about the Upper Hudson Valley’s place in American art. And you can even get your groove on at the National Museum of Dance (dancemuseum.org) in Saratoga Springs.

For those who live to bike and bike to live, travel guidebook editor Nikki Goth Itoi, who wrote Moon Hudson River Valley, a book that covers both Albany and Saratoga Springs, suggests tackling the challenging 41-mile Hudson-Mohawk Bikeway, a bike-hike trail that connects Albany and Schenectady Counties in New York’s Capital District. The scenic trail is part of the statewide Canalway Trail that follows the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany.

An interesting upcoming run in Albany, Saturday, June 4, is the 33rd Annual Freihofer’s Run for Women (freihofersrun.

The Arkell Museum in Montgomery County.

com), a 5K road race that features 4,200 women representing 20 states and 19 nations. The start and finish lines are located on the capital’s Madison Avenue, between the Empire State Plaza and the New York State Museum. According to the organizers, the race combines some of the top international and American women distance runners from the Capital Region and across the nation.

And, in nearby Montgomery County, all types of special events and attractions are starting to heat up along with the weather. At the beautifully modern Arkell Museum (arkellmuseum.org), American art and Mohawk Valley history are featured in both exhibitions and programs. Visitors will discover paintings by remarkable American artists such as

You’ll Love My Sullivan County Catskills!

Winslow Homer, George Inness, Ralph Blakelock and Thomas Hart Benton. The museum’s collection also includes objects and archives related to the Mohawk Valley.

Now through August 14, the museum features the exhibit Drawn to the Same Place: Rufus Grider and Fritz Vogt.

Wrestling fans familiar with Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock will be in their glory May 21 and May 22, as the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame holds its induction weekend in Amsterdam (pwhf.org).

Also on May 22, Montgomery County holds its first May Fest celebration, showcasing local industry, arts and entertainment, including the Mohawk Valley Farmers’ Market, crafters, vendors, draft horse hay rides, Big Al’s Cruise-In Car Show, Made in Montgomery County business expo, music and more. It all takes place at the Fonda Fairgrounds.

Fans of stock car racing and vintage autos will not want to miss the Glen Ridge Motorsports Park 2011 Season, now through September 9 at 213 Mary’s Lane, Fultonville, N.Y. (thenewglenridgemotorsportspark.com).

So Much to Do... Here in our Sullivan County Catskills, there’s plenty of fun to keep everyone in the family happy.

Take a drive through the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, a 70-mile stretch of charming, historic and natural river towns full of restaurants, antique shops farm fresh produce, rafting, fly fishing, full-service hotels, and camping under the stars...

Four Favorites in the hudson valley

By Patrick Wall The H udson Valley—“America’s Rhine,” a National Heritage Area where soldiers fought during the Revolutionary War and romantic painters journeyed for inspiration—is home to a broad array of historic and scenic travel destinations.

Here are four of our favorites.

Storm King Adventure Tours Storm King Mountain, near the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson in Orange County, towers more than 1,300 feet above the Hudson River. Over a thousand visitors a year hike along the mountain, or kayak in the river below, on tours led by Storm K ing Adventure Tours.

“Everybody wants something different,” said Kris Seiz, who opened the outdoor adventure service in 2007.

To accommodate visitors’ varied interests, Seiz offers a range of hiking and kayaking tours. Hikers can learn about leaves on a dendrology tour, hear the history of the mountain while treading its trails, or practice outdoor yoga on a scenic summit. Tours cost $25 per hiker and last about three hours.

Adventures who aren’t afraid of getting wet—and maybe sunburned if you don’t slather on the sunscreen—can take a kayak tour. Different tours let you explore a hidden cove or paddle under the moonlight. The company’s most popular excursion includes a hardhat tour of Bannerman’s Castle, a century-old arsenal that rests on a secluded island. Most kayak tours cost $60, though the four-hour castle tour costs $120.

Minnewaska Lodge The Minnewaska Lodge in Ulster County caters to rock climbers, horse riders, wine lovers and escaped citydwellers from around the region. “They’re looking for that perfect getaway,” said sales manager Gunter Spilhaus.

The 26-room mountain lodge sits on 17 acres near the foot of the Shawangunk Mountains. The mountains—known to locals as the Gunks—feature more than 800 climbing routes.

The lodge features decks with scenic views of the surrounding forest and mountains, hot homemade breakfasts and a fitness center. Guests can ask the onsite

“adventure concierge” to help them plan a wine-tasting tour, farm visit, bike ride or day at the spa. Room prices vary, from $155 to $359, depending on the season and the view.

The Atonement Friars New Yorkers in need of some peace and quiet can visit The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement at their sprawling friary and retreat center, 50 miles outside of Manhattan. Their property, called Graymoor, sits adjacent to the small town of Garrison, in Putnam County.

“There’s a train station,” said Father Bob Langone, associate director of the retreat center. “And if you sneezed, you’d blow right past it.”

Set on a rise that locals call “Holy Mountain,” the Friars’ property includes 403 acres of forests and hiking trails, ideal for outdoor reflection. For indoor prayer or meditation, visitors can choose from five chapels atop “Holy Mountain.”

Langone estimates that more than 10,000 visitors travel to Graymoor each year. Some come to enjoy one of the Friars’ many festivals—the Festival of St.

Anthony in June, and a pet blessing in October are both popular.

Others participate in the weekend retreats that the Friars offer year-round in the Graymoor Spiritual Life Center.

Recent or upcoming retreats include “Spirituality of the 12 Steps,” “BuddhistChristian Dialogue” and “Married Couples Retreat.”

Retreat participants can stay in one of the Center’s 55 rooms, or in a single room in the old friary. Single rooms cost $180 for the weekend; double rooms go for $130.

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts The psychedelic traveler may wish to visit the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

The 15,000-seat outdoor performance venue and accompanying museum sit on the grounds of the original, 1969 Woodstock festival.

The museum focuses on the festival and its impact on 1960s America. Visitors can marvel at more than 160 artifacts from the famous festival, or take a walking tour of key sites at the hippy mecca. A video archive at the museum includes oral histories from the likes of Arlo Guthrie, Phil Lesh and someone named Wavy Gravy. Tickets to the museum range from $15 for adults to $6 for children under the age of 8.
