I went on my first solo hike to cold spring which is only an hour and a half outside of NYC. The scenic views, quietness and being able to fully be emerged in nature was so worth it. This is your sign to head to cold spring for a nice hike. #coldspring #nycthingstodo #thingstodoinnyc #daytrip #hikingadventures
