Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Hike in Cold Spring: An Easy Quarry Trail and a Fall Walking Meditation in the Hudson Valley

Bull Hill rises directly above the village of Cold Spring, and every weekend the Metro-North platform below it fills with people carrying backpacks, trail snacks and the bright expression of New Yorkers who have decided that today they are outdoorsy. Most of them are headed for the summit of Mount Taurus, the mountain’s other name and its more glamorous one. I came for the first half mile. On a clear November afternoon I walked the Washburn Trail up to the abandoned quarry at the foot of the mountain, a small and easy Hudson Valley hike that delivers a golden meadow, a wall of ancient rock and enough stillness to rearrange an entire week.

Inside Designer Nicholas Lewin’s Timeless Nova Scotia Home

Residential designer Nicholas Lewin of Spencer Lewin Inc. takes us inside his home in Chester, Nova Scotia, a sailing paradise known for its beautiful architecture and shorelines. Inspired by vernacular architecture, Nicholas favours timeless design. “I don’t like it when ego intrudes into architecture and things look dated in 10 years,” he says. On his quirky lot, two connected buildings work together: the 600-square-foot main house has an open-concept kitchen and living space, designed around how people actually live. “Being able to witness the chef in the kitchen is critical,” he says. The second building holds his office and TV room, while a pool house includes a gym, sauna and second ensuite bedroom for guests.

Local farm ensuring Beacon school kids in need get Thanksgiving dinner

Backpacks bursting with harvest-themed produce will be given to Beacon City School District children with the greatest need to ensure they not only have Thanksgiving dinner, but a holiday spread to remember. This is Common Ground Farm's "Holiday BackPack Distribution." For Thanksgiving 2026, 80 or more Beacon City School District children, grades K-12, and their families, will receive backpacks on Nov. 19 filled to the brim, according to Liz Craig, the finance and operations manager at Common Ground Farm. From sweet potatoes and carrots to onions and garlic, as well as apples, potatoes, honey nut squash, celery and herbs, everything you'd expect on the holiday table is in the backpack, including 10 pounds of produce per bag, Hailee Salvesen, the backpack coordinator at Common Ground Farm, said. Common Ground Farm could have given instant mashed potatoes or canned pie filling, but the fresh foods give these families the flexibility, Salvesen said, to make their mashed potato recipe, their grandma's apple crisp or, if they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, an abundant bag of food that can last. Fixings like canned cranberry sauce, stuffing mix and local bread will also be found inside the bags, worth about $45 each, while allergy and dietary
