There is something so serene and complete about the fall season. There are many quotes about the time, but one that truly articulates what is going on comes from The Bear of Small Brain, Winnie the Pooh, who, in Pooh’s Grand Adventure said:
“It’s the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!”
Indeed, a time for so much. So what are the best things to do in New York? First, for those who want to really get the best view of Fall foliage, you really can’t beat The Catskills. Hiking in Kaaterskill Falls is a wonderful way of spending some autumn days, truly one of New York’s most outstanding testaments to the beauty of nature.
Then there are the hikes in Allegany State Park which spans a huge 65,000 acres, comprising the north’s Red House Area and the south’s Quaker Area. Cycling is fun there too and for those who don’t mind getting a bit wet, there are lots of water sporting opportunities (canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and more).
So come on out and enjoy the fall!
