Further north, the train passes through Poughkeepsie and Rhinecliff, where the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park provides iconic views of the rolling hills of Dutchess County.

The Amtrak Adirondack Route traverses stunning landscapes, including the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, and the Adirondacks. In Albany-Rensselaer, passengers can enjoy foliage views along the river and from the Corning Observation Tower.
