Cold Spring Escape | NYC’s No-Car Hiking Paradise 🚂⛰️

Trade your office chair for Bull Hill’s rocky trails—just 1 hour from Grand Central! Here’s the unfiltered guide to a perfect car-free day trip: 🚆 Train Hacks ✅ Left-side seats = Hudson River views (no FOMO). ✅ 9:55 AM departure → back by 6:20 PM (Monday-ready). 🥾 Trail Truths (Full Loop) ⚠️ Not a “walk in the park”—rocks, steep climbs, sweaty glory. ✅ Markers = clear, but hiking boots mandatory. 💧 Pack: 1L water + snacks (hangry hikers weep here). 🍽️ Post-Hike Fuel 🚫 Le Bouchon (★★☆☆☆) • Snails = gritty, baguette = meh (skip unless starving). 🍹 Rowseelee (★★★★★) • Iced fruit tea = post-hike elixir (way better than boba). 🍦 Moo Moo’s (★★★☆☆) • Sunset views > ice cream (too sweet, but vibes win). ⏳ Sample Timeline 11:20 AM → Stroll town 12:00 PM → Hike Full Loop 4:30 PM → Eat/drink 6:20 PM → Train home (happy exhaustion) Q: Team Rowseelee or Team Moo Moo’s? #NoCarNYC #Hiking #WeekendEscape #ColdSpring
