I am by no means an expert hiker, but I do enjoy checking out trails that are new to me around the Hudson Valley.
This weekend I went with a few friends to hike at Fort Montgomery. I didn t know what to expect, just that it was probably going to be a little difficult (it was, there were ropes involved) and it would have amazing views.
What I also didn t know was that I would be visiting the Popolopen Torne trail/Trail of the Fallen memorial.
The peak of this Orange County hike is a large military memorial made up of painted rocks, flags, headstones and benches. It s chill-inducing, making that final stride up the mountain and coming to flags and stones that tell so many stories of the lives lost at war.

We are the Hudson Valley. We re known for our beautiful rolling mountains, delicious culinary delicacies, and our access to quickly get to the city or escape to the country.
We re also known for our extraterrestrial activity. If you heard it once, you ve heard it a million times (most likely from me) that the Hudson Valley is a hotbed for paranormal activity.
It seems like every other day there is some kind of UFO sighting around the Valley. The most recent involved some strange lights in the Ulster County area in the beginning of February.
