Hudson Valley adventure lives in Gardiner at Skydive the Ranch, the #1 skydiving and parachuting school in New York State, serving the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut for over 20 years. There's no better way to experience the Valley than to view it in freefall from 13,500 feet. For more off-the-ground adventure, take a trip to Hunter Mountain for the longest and highest zipline canopy tour in North America, or take a scenic skyride on its state-of-the-art lift to the 3,200 foot summit.
