The Hudson Valley is a river valley in the U.S. state of New York. (Because the Hudson River is an estuary, the valley is actually a fjord!) The communities along the river often consider themselves part of a "Hudson Valley" region. For Wikivoyage purposes, we've divided Hudson Valley communities among three region articles (ordered south-to-north, upstream from the mouth):
The Hudson starts further north in the Adirondacks, though it's not a valley at that point.
