Just a scenic car, train, or bus ride away from New York City, you'll find a fall wonderland of epic proportions known as The Catskills. Boasting myriad opportunities to enjoy the best of autumn's offerings, this pristine playground makes a strong argument against the urge to hibernate during this picturesque time of the year. Bundle up and enjoy the crisp weather with a visit to one of the many rustic street festivals or hold hands on a spectacular hike among verdant pines and brilliant, turning maples.

With a rich past—think Revolutionary War bravery, the legendary Woodstock music festival, and the Borscht Belt—the Catskills have been well known for decades. Adventurers love visiting Lookout Point for magnificent views and clean mountain air and exploring the forested highlands on horseback. And with an abundance of fine resorts calling your name, the Catskills offer you an excellent opportunity to unplug from the workaday world and enjoy natural beauty, complemented by world-class hospitality.
