If you do Julie's hike (or any starting from Platte Clove), go early and swing through Tannersville for breakfast at Selena's. The Huckleberry Point hike is a nice short one, but Kaaterskill High Peak is great: remains of a plane wreck on the trail, a quick rock scramble to some great views, and opportunities for easy bushwhacking if you want to practice orienteering. You can finish up a day trip with dinner in Saugerties or Catskill (you're going to have lunch at Huckleberry Point or Hurricane Ledge, obvs). All just about an hour from Albany!
Platte Clove Road also has a great northern approach to Overlook Mountain. Just check conditions first, it's unmaintained in the winter and often has construction when it is open.
