NEW YORK/UPSTATE

NEW YORK/UPSTATE

Well you have heard me talk about the City.  However New York is not just skyscrapers and wall to wall people.  You have Upstate New York.  Upstate New York has Mountains and Lakes and Resorts and is the place the folks from the City go to get away from the city.

You have heard of Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains....the 1980 Winter Olympics were held here.  Yes it can get very snowy white in the mountains.  Great for those who love to ski.  The Adirondacks are just one range.  They also have the Catskills.  They also have the Finger Lakes....and you can find a fabulous resort or maybe a B & B is more your style.  They have plenty to choose from.

While visiting the mountains and lakes in the summer is great fun.  What will take your breath away is the fall foliage. 


October....closing in on Halloween.  You can pick pumpkins and you can pick apples right off the trees.  Nothing says fresh like apples you just picked.  Rent a car and take some of the back roads around these small quaint towns.  Roadside produce stands and more.  However, here is my tip of the day.  When  you go pick your apples...make sure you grab a cider donut!  Yumm, Yumm. 

If skiing is your thing there are many ski resorts and great slopes you can slalom on. 

New York State is so well rounded.  From the City, to the boroughs, to the Upstate region New York is packed full of fun and excitement all year round!
