Thayer Hotel

Head for the Hills

The rolling hills of the Hudson Valley are alive with historical treasures, natural beauty and outdoor adventures. Anytime of year is a good time to get out and soak up all that the region has to offer. The Thayer Hotel at West Point , perched atop the bluff of the Hudson River , gives visitors easy access to endless activities.

Whether you like your thrills on wheels, trails, or rocks, there’s much fun to be had on the hiking paths of the Hudson Highlands (try Breakneck Ridge for the most staggering view of the Hudson) or walk along the Appalachian Trail in nearby Harriman State Park or brush up on your American history by touring the West Point campus. Or if rolling on the river is more your style, ask a Thayer Hotel concierge to arrange for you to crew the Hudson or hop into a kayak for a watery adventure along this famous riverscape.

Youngsters in your crew will flip for a ride on the Bear Mountain Merry Go-Round which showcases 42 hand-carved seats of native animals including black bear, raccoon, skunk, fox, swan, bobcat, rabbit, and more. While you’re there, take in the breathtaking view atop Bear Mountain from the Perkins Memorial Tower: the impressive 40 foot tall stone lookout tower was built in the 1930’s

If the weather is warm, take a refreshing dip at one of 31 lakes in nearby Harriman State Park , or enjoy the Park’s 200 miles of hiking trails, three beaches, miles of streams and scores of wildlife species. During the colder months ice skate at Bear Mountain or enjoy nearby skiing, snow mobiling and sledding.

Of course, the biggest treat for visitors will be the thrill of staying within the boundaries of the United States Military Academy at West Point . Here you’ll marvel at grand monuments and gorgeous gothic architecture at every turn. Strolling the impressive grounds, you’ll relish soaking up pieces of America’s rich history that are only found at West Point.
