Take the New York Thruway (I-87) south, get off at exit 21 (Catskill). You can follow the signs to “Hunter”. Turn left from the exit ramp, on route 23B toward Catskill. Follow it to 9W (nine double-you, not nine-west!). Go south on 9W. Just past Price Chopper, the road forks. Take the right fork, the straighter one, route 23A up the hill. Follow it to Palenville, 8.3 miles ahead.

Take the right fork, the straighter one, route 23A toward Hunter. Follow it to Palenville. Warning The last 5 miles of this route are very narrow, steep, slow, and twisty. This route is not recommended for large vehicles or trailers!
Amtrak has regular service to Hudson, including many trips from New York, one per day from the east (Boston), two per day from the west (Rochester, Chicago, …) We plan to have a shuttle on Thursday and Sunday.
There is bus service to Palenville that stops within walking distance of the conference. Unfortunately, the Greyhound and Trailways web sites are hard to deal with and usually can't find the route without help. The route is often indirect, but it might be the cheapest way to get here.
Palenville is located midway between the Albany (ALB) and Newburgh (SWF) airports. The Albany airport is the larger one, with more flights and usually lower fares. The Newburgh (Stewart) airport is smaller. The fare may be lower if you book late.
We plan to have a shuttle on Thursday and Sunday to the Albany airport. Call us with your flight time and we will try to coordinate it.
Or .. you can rent a car and follow the directions “by car”.
