Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and
overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the
Catskills.
The rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the
legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the
1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect
place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s, there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering
nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and
cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead
more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but some
remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of todays visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the
leaves. There is an all organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are
also hundreds of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles.
