As colder weather beckons, it’s time to dust off our sweaters and fall jackets. The northeast is blessed with a smattering of fall colors in a number of breathtaking displays in multiple locations near NYC or a little ways from NYC. So gear up for fall hikes, trips, and fall themed getaways. Here are some weekend getaways to see fall colors:
Bear Mountain State Park, NY
Catskill Forest Preserve, NY
Hudson State Park, Poughkeepsie, NY
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, PA
Nearby is the 70,000-acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, one of the most beautiful locations in the state. Enjoy boating along the majestic Delaware River, flowing between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Essex, CT
Franconia, NH
Lenox, MA
Stowe, VT
All these locations are so breathtaking it’s hard to believe these are real places and not just paintings. If you are interested in checking when the peak fall foliage will take place near you check out the Smoky Mountain website. Comment below if you have some great weekend getaways to see fall colors near you!
Amazing post idea and very beautiful destinations. Lovely!
Looks like fall is a good time to visit the US, like the colours:) Thanks for sharing!
The Catskills have been on my list for a while now, I get up there soon for the leaves!
What stunning photos of all those colours! Such lovely placces to explore!
All of these spots look gorgeous! I go to the Smoky Mountains nearly every year in the fall and the foliage is always gorgeous. I’d love to see New England in the fall!
