April-Oct 2015. Kaatskill Mountain Club (#7608) Hunter, NY 12442
I have a unit on hold for Fall 2015
Doing a little reading, they say leaf peeping is 6 weeks from mid Sept thru late October starting in the Catskills
"While the leaves do not wait to change colors even for busy New Yorkers, one of the advantages of this region is that the peak leaf-peeping season lasts for about six weeks, from the middle of September through the end of October. First signs of fall are in the higher elevation around the Catskill Mountains, a bit later in the Shawungunks, and still later in the Hudson Valley. "
Have not been to the Hunter Mountain area in many many years and thought it would be a nice base of operation.
"The region is packed with art galleries, including those found in Hunter and the nearby village of Woodstock. Groups can enjoy a variety of music and cultural festivals hosted in the area. Architectural landmarks including covered bridges and historic homes such as Cedar Grove, the home of Hudson River Art School founder Thomas Cole, and Olana, the home of Frederic Church.
Shopping and Antiquing
The area features nearly 50 antique shops and galleries, all within a short drive of the Kaatskill Mountain Club. There are also dozens of local artisans and craftspeople.
Baseball Hall of Fame and Museums
Area museums cover a wide range of interests! Cooperstown, NY and the National Baseball Hall of Fame are 90 minutes from Hunter Mountain. Art museums include the Fennimore Art Museum, with its Native American and American exhibits. Transportation buffs will enjoy several options, including the Empire State Railway Museum and the Hudson River Maritime Museum. And that’s just a small sampling!"
