I am by no means a thrill seeker or adrenaline junkie. I’m a suburban mom with a burning desire for a little adventure. I found it in my own proverbial backyard and share it with you here. Westchester County covers 450 square miles bordered by New York City, the Hudson River, Putnam County and the Long Island Sound – all yours to explore. You can do most anything and you can do it in a day. And STILL make it back in time to get dinner going. Your neighbors include the Hudson Highlands, Berkshires, Catskills, Appalachian Trail and the Atlantic Flyway…just for starters. It’s a lot to take in, but I’ve mapped it out for you.
