New York State | Cold Spring Town (Chill Without Hiking) 🌿

As a lazy person, I really didn't feel like hiking but still wanted to visit a quaint town near New York, so I decided to explore Cold Spring and Beacon in one day. 🍃🌺 Without hiking, Cold Spring is mainly about strolling down Main Street and Cold Spring Pier. If you go on a weekday and it's not peak foliage season, you'll find the streets pretty empty. 🚗 Parking: You can park right in front of the Cold Spring Depot. 1 Depot Square, Cold Spring, NY 10516 ⛰️ Cold Spring Pier: Next to the Cold Spring Depot, there's an underground passage marked "To River" that leads you to the Hudson River. 🍃🌺The wind is super strong there. The view is more stunning in person than in photos, as the bright sunlight can make it tricky to capture the perfect shot. 🛤️ Train Tracks: Right next to the "To River" sign, you'll find the train tracks, which make for great photos, especially if there are autumn leaves around. 🛍️ Main Street: Main Street is lined with charming little shops, each with its own unique decor. The pace of life in this small town feels really slow and relaxed. 🍧 I highly recommend a dessert place called ROWSEELEE. The ambiance is lovely, and the desserts are super delicate. It's a great spot to sit down, chat, and take a break. 🍃🌺 #UpstateNewYork #OneDayTrip 🌟
