Bear Mountain

Today we rode from Rhode Island across Connecticut and into New York. We crossed the Connecticut River at Windsor Locks, followed U.S. 44 west across rural northern Connecticut. Then we cut down to Beacon, NY, and followed NY 9D south along the Hudson, crossing it on the Bear Mountain Bridge. Bear Mountain State Park is just on the west end of the bridge. It is also right on the Appalachian Trail. From
our room at The Overlook Lodge, we have a view of the river.
