In the winter, it's called a chairlift, and it whisks skiers and snowboarders to the top of one of the best reasons to visit the Hudson Valley.
In the summer, Hunter Mountain, changes the name of this device to Skyride, but it still whisks outdoor enthusiasts to the top of one of the best reasons to visit the Hudson Valley.
The view from the top is a 360-degree picture postcard panorama, so be sure to ride up with your camera.
There are three ways to get back down. You could ride the lift down -- that takes around eight minutes. You could walk back down -- a liesurely stroll takes around 30 minutes, depending on whether you play frisbee with your friend's dog en route, as I did last summer. Or, you could ride your mountain bike down.
The Hunter Mountain Skyride opens for the summer starting July 5, but will be running this Memorial Day weekend from 10am - 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Tickets are $8 for adults (13 and over) and $6 for juniors (7-12 years). Children 6 and under ride for free!
Hunter Mountain -- and the Hudson Valley -- are a great place to visit in any season.
