The Rosendale Trestle on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail as seen from atop Joppenburgh Mountain in Rosendale. When built is was the highest bridge in the United States. The Joppenburgh Mountain trail is accessible from the parking lot behind Main Street in Rosendale. Very steep for biking.

At mile 9 is the Historic Huguenot District founded on land once occupied by the Lenape tribe for 5,000 years or more. This just one of several historic building dating back to the founding of New Paltz in 1678. This and other buildings are all within 100 yards of the trail.
View from one of the bridge crossings.

Definitely a tour and not a trail ride. Great scenery, small towns...plenty of great things to see including mines and extremely high bridge crossings.
Dusk on a lake.
Near mile 18 there is a hidden support bridge. Here's a stone stairwell and corridor that runs beneath the trail.
Looking northward on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and near a small parking area at Coffey Road and near Mile Marker 11 in New Paltz. The Wallkill rail trail bridge at Springtown is less than half a mile south.
At mile 10.5 is the trail bridge at Springtown Road. It offers peaceful views of the often swiftly-moving Wallkill River as it flows north. You can see the shadow of the bridge on the water below in this photo.
