Wow, I want to go hiking there!

Dylan has a song, "Bear Mountain Picnic" there is this boat trip up the river and the tickets are over sold so the boat tips over and people drown. So he says he is going to stay home and have a picnic in his bathtub.

That brings back some memories. When I was a kid we'd drive down to Bear Mountain each year and grab a ride on the Alexander Hamilton for a few hours. It would deposit day-trippers from the city, who were going to spend some time at the park, and we'd ride as it went further up the Hudson and then back.
