The best way to see the Berkshire Mountains is from the seat of your bike on the Harlem Valley rail trail. It is a paved rail trail on an abandoned portion of the New York Harlem railroad.

North of the hamlet of Wassaic the trail begins in Wassaic and ends in Hillsdale NY all on a protected trail free from any cars. You will see nature at its best. We then make our way into the end of the trail in Hillsdale before making an about face and head back to Copake Falls then to Millerton for lunch then back to the start point at Wassaic. If you are doing the full ride plan on the 615 or 815 trains back to the city.

Bring snacks and plenty of water.
