In case anyone's up for a last-minute day hike on Saturday, 11/10 (sorry for the extremely short notice)
Meeting at Cold Spring, Metro North Station at 9:22am (Hudson Line)
We're doing a four-mile hike on Mt. Taurus (aka Bull Hill) near Cold Spring, NY.
- The hike is classified as difficult with an elevation gain of about 1,350 feet.
- Here's a link for a blogger's images and details of the hike:

We may do a similar hike soon, which I'll post more in advance.
For the meeting point at the Metro North railway station in Cold Spring, NY:
From Grand Central, train departs at 8:00am and arrives at 9:22am no transfers necessary ($29)
From Harlem 125th St, train departs at 8:11am and arrives at 9:22am, no transfers necessary ($29)
We will try to get hiking right away, so best to use the bathroom on the train!
Two group leaders will have cars at the train station to drive approximately 10 minutes to the trail head.
The hike will take approximately 3-3.5 hours and we will have several options afterwards:
Drive back to the train station to head home
Drive back into Cold Spring for lunch before departing
The trains out of Cold Spring are hourly (12:59pm, 2:01pm, 2:59pm, 4:03pm, etc), so if anyone needs to leave immediately after the hike, no problem and if anyone wants to stay and enjoy the coastal town of Cold Spring, no problem!
