Everyone must go to Piermont, but you don't have to take 9W! This takes pleasant side roads to Piermont Rd and then goes up lovely Rockleigh Rd. It climbs, but it's not steep, so go easy and look at the scenery and the historic houses. Then, yes, there's a very short distance on 9W before you turn into Tallman State Park to go down into the riverside town of Piermont. Have a picnic at the gazebo on the riverbank. The route home goes up Churchill.
