Trip to Catskills NY
Escape to the Catskills, NY
Americans from the Native Americans to the early pioneers who found the new world, followed the instruction to “Go west, young man”, the Catskills Mountains have been a place of perfect retreat and sanctuary. The Catskills offer fresh air mountain adventures with cool lakes in summer and winter wonderland skiing trips in winter.
According to Wikipedia,” The area of the town (Catskills) was purchased from the natives for some trinkets in 1678 and settlement followed. The town was established in 1788…”
Up for a challenge on your Catskills Vacation?
If you really are the outdoors type and want a real mountain challenge then the 25 mile “Devil’s Path” will provide a real challenge.
If it is a gentle woodland retreat that you are after, you could book into one of the mountain retreats which offer fresh air, mediation times and a complete escape from the rat race.
Try the Catskills for a weekend break
Summer vacations in the Catskills offer an opportunity for top class fly fishing. Other water sports such as canoeing are popular family activities too. As this mountain getaway is a mere three to five hours away from New York City it has also become a popular romantic weekend venue.
Rekindle your love as you stroll down the historic streets and search for antiques, crafts and collectibles.
What winter activities are on offer?
If you enjoy winter skiing trips, the Catskills Mountains have much to offer. You can stay in an up market ski resort or book in to a local bed and breakfast. You can enjoy your winter vacation skiing or snowboarding, if you like the two sports.
The Catskills Forest Preserve is raw, untamed America at its best, measuring over 300,000 acres with its highest point reaching 4,180 feet. It is great to toughen slickers. River fishing here is as close to nature as you can hope to get.
You could look up the Delaware and Ulster railroad company and take a train ride down memory lane as you wind through the Catskills Mountains. Alternatively, you could hike, bike, or horseback ride on the old 19 miles of original rail bed trail which inclines very gently making an easy amble as you take in the mountain scenery or visit the Bailiwick Ranch and choose a mere one or two hour horseback ride.
Another family activity worth a visit is an outing to the Ponderosa ranch where you can go-kart, paddle and play in bumper boats and enjoy a tranquil day of fishing.
Artists will appreciate why so many people have tried to capture the beauty of this incredible mountain range on canvas. A visit to the historic home of Thomas Cole, Cedar Grove, is now open to the public and a must see.
If close to nature is what you desire, Catskills is the best place for you.
