A late-morning sun cuts across the red-brick walkways of Marist College and the Hudson River dares the skyline with a slow, reflective current.

Marist sits on the east bank of the Hudson in Dutchess County, a college campus with 20th-century roots that grew from a small Catholic normal school into the present-day liberal arts campus. Geologically, the Hudson Valley is a glacially carved corridor, its terraces and river-facing lawns shaped by ice and riverine action—features that show up in the broad views and subtle elevation changes as you walk.
Culturally, a scavenger hunt here mixes student life, public art, and nearby Hudson River history: keep an eye out for historic markers and the nearby Walkway Over the Hudson and FDR’s Hyde Park a short drive away. The experience is low-impact but social—this is less about summit mountaineering and more about curiosity, observation, and quick sprint-walks between clues.
Practical guidance: download and register the Let’s Roam app before arriving, charge your phone, and give your group 90–120 minutes. Expect mostly paved paths and campus stairs; moderate fitness and good footwear keep things comfortable. Bring a small power bank, water, and an appetite for trivia—the app handles navigation and scoring so you can focus on the questions, photos, and local discoveries.
