Weather of Arabia - In 1996 Congress established the National Heritage Area in the Hudson Valley, New York State, and this region is considered the cradle of European settlement, by the Dutch and then the British, as it was an arena for strategic battles in the colonial wars. The Hudson Valley extends from the county capital of Albany and its surrounding cities in the north, to the outskirts of the New York City region in the south, and the area shared by a group of counties consists of rolling hills that lead down to the Hudson River. The Hudson Valley region is known for its sleepy riverside towns, such as Albany, Beacon, Hudson, Poughkeepsie, Saratoga Springs, Troy, Woodstock, and Kingston.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> History tells the stories of the valley </h2><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2017/%D9%82%D8%B5%D8%B1%20%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%84%D8%AA.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 536px;" /> Lyndhurst Palace in the town of Tarrytown, is a Gothic palace that is one of the most beautiful things to see during a trip to the Hudson Valley. Irving's grave site can be visited in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Kikwit Palace in Pocantico Hills Village and the Old Dutch Church. In Hyde Park, you should visit the Vanderbilt National Historic Mansion overlooking the Hudson River, and admission to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum cannot also be missed.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Arts and museums in the Hudson Valley </h2><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2017/%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%B2%20%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%85%20%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%AC%20%D9%84%D9%84%D9%81%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 454px;" /> Art-loving travelers also like to sip tea and attend an evening party at the Karamore Center in Katonah, an 80-acre Mediterranean villa. In Borchas, they also visit the Neuberger Museum of Art, which features modern, contemporary and African art, and hang out in Donald Kendall's gardens to see the forty sculptures distributed in 12 gardens. The Storm King Art Center in Mountainville sits on five hundred acres of landscaped landscape embraced by modern sculptures, and is another haven for nature and art lovers.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Outdoor activities and natural places </h2><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2017/%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%A9%20%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A%20%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%86.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" /> Nature lovers will be on a date with a hike in Bear Mountain National Park, crossing the Hudson River across the magnificent Bearmountain Bridge and embarking on a hiking trip to the top of Anthony's Knows, where the entire valley can be viewed. The upper reaches of the Hudson Valley are still largely agricultural areas, so a visit to the farms and farmers market is a must for fresh local produce sold right off the farm. A river cruise on one of the boats is undoubtedly one of the most exciting activities in the Hudson. There are boats that depart from Newburgh, West Haverstraw, West Point, Peekskill and more.
