What’s your take on fall, as a season?

“The foliage makes it the best time to hike. I love the cool weather and a nice glass of Argentinian Malbec.”~Christine Alicea, Beacon

“It’s about the drama of the mountains and color in the Hudson Valley, especially the view of Constitution Marsh from Boscobel and Storm King from Cold Spring.” ~Frank Billingsley, Beacon

“For me, it ranks behind winter as the worst season. The weather gets cold; kids get sick. Everything is dying, and you know you’re going into the horribly long winter.” ~ Zoe Antitch, Cold Spring
