Hunter
Top 10 in Top 10 Best Day Trips from New York City
On a three-hour, adrenaline-pumping zip-line adventure at Hunter Mountain, put some distance between you and the ground. The SkyRider Tour is an above-the-canopy circuit with more than two miles of whooshing pleasure spread over five distinct lines, each of which blasts riders along at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and reaches a height of 600 feet.
You can try the Mid-Mountain Tour for something more sedate but still at a height of 60 feet; it has six lines, nine tree platforms, and four rope bridges. Bring your buzz to Last Chance Antiques & Cheese Café, a unique establishment that combines a gourmet cheese shop with a sizable beer menu and regularly showcases live local music. Rahmos, Sarah
