Without a doubt, the most beautiful time of the year in the Hudson Valley of New York State is Autumn, when the weather is ideal and the scenery is breathtaking. The area’s tourism bureau offers several driving itineraries for self-guided Fall foliage tours, although there aren’t many places you can drive where you won’t be awestruck by the stunning display of colors.
These delightful drives can be combined with visits to the region’s many historic sites – the whole area is a National Historic Landmark District – or cultural events, interesting museums and eclectic array of festivals and fairs that will draw your attention and vie for your time.
You can also enjoy this time of year in the Catskills in other, more active ways. Consider a hike on one of the many trails; a kayak trip on the Hudson River, an incredibly scenic horseback ride, a bike tour or a river boat cruise .
New Paltz is one of the most interesting towns in the region, offering a concentrated version of all the best the area has to offer, including a stylish Hudson Valley Bed and Breakfast, a History of New Paltz bike tour , and a cool pick your own pumpkin farm complete with dozens of scarecrows, a corn maze and hayrides.
