📍 Upstate New York Day Trip | Beacon: The Artsy Town Escape

If you're looking for a place to escape the city without going too far, Beacon is absolutely worth the visit! From hiking to art exhibits and street food, you can pack a whole day with just the right amount of relaxation and adventure. 🌿 Mount Beacon Hike | Hiking + Scenic Double Feature We kicked off the day with a challenge at Mount Beacon Trail. The start is a bit steep, but the views of the Hudson Valley from the summit are absolutely worth it! The cool breezes and fresh air in the woods make it perfect for clearing your mind. 🏔️ 🎨 Dia Beacon | Immersive Time in an Art Museum Next up was Dia Beacon, a modern art museum with a beautifully designed building. The spacious exhibition halls feature installations and minimalist styles, creating a tranquil world within. It's perfect for contemplative viewing. 🎨 🍽️ Melzingah Tap House | Hidden Culinary Gem For lunch, we headed to the popular local spot, Melzingah Tap House. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere made our meal even better. We ordered their burger and salad, which exceeded expectations, especially when paired with local craft beer. A perfect energy boost! 🍔 🚶‍♀️ Main Street Stroll | The Essence of an Artsy Town After lunch, we strolled down Main Street, where the relaxed vibe of the town truly shined. Independent coffee shops, craft stores, and vintage boutiques lined the street. Each shop held surprises, making it perfect for unhurried browsing. If you love shopping or taking photos, you'll fall in love with this place! 🌟 Beacon is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Experiencing nature, art, and great food all in one day—without feeling rushed—is just perfect! 🎟️ Dia Beacon Ticket Prices (Standard Adult Ticket) - Adults: $20 - Students / Seniors (65+): $12 - Under 18: Free - Members: Free admission 📌 Operating Hours (Typically): - Open Friday to Monday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM - Closed Tuesday to Thursday - Hours may vary on holidays, so check the official website or social media before your visit. 📍 Address: 3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY 12508 🚆 How to Get There: Take the Metro-North (Hudson Line) from New York City to Beacon Station.
