Woodstock
The town of Woodstock
was originally an artist colony. It now offers a wide variety of
arts and crafts displayed in the numerous stores and galleries from
local artisans and others. Often known more for the concert that
was not held there, it has adopted a following none the less. This
is a quaint town great for dining, shopping, browsing and people
watching.

The Ashokan Reservoir
Nestled in the heart
of the Catskill Mountains this body of water is one of the numerous
reservoirs supplying New York City with drinking water. The surrounding
area provides fishing, rollerblading, cycling, jogging and picnicking
near the fountain. The views of the mountains beyond the reservoir
are spectacular with the view ever-changing due to weather and lighting
conditions.

New Paltz
The town and area
surrounding New Paltz has excellent views of the Schuangunk Mountains.
They are known as "The Gunks" throughout the world for
premier rock climbing. The Minnewaska and Mohonk parks also offer
hiking, mountain biking and swimming in pristine mountain top lakes.
There is also the Mohonk Mountain House, a historic mountain top
resort that must be seen to be believed. A spectacular stone and
wood structure nestled on the edge of a lake.

Phoenicia
Phoenicia is a quiet
little town that offers a unique opportunity for tubing down the
esopus creek. You can drift along the river and view the surrounding
mountains. The esopus is a well known fishing stream that also
offers the opportunity for kayaking. This is one of the many streams
that supply the Ashokan Reservoir with water. Its flow varies
with the seasons and can be very turbulent at times.

Bellayre and Hunter
Ski Resorts
These two ski resorts provide excellent
skiing within a reasonable distance from the city. Each mountain
has snow making equipment that enable coverage during the driest
of seasons, so as long as it is cold there will be snow. Hunter
also offers mountain biking, fall festivals and rides to the top
of the mountain during the summer months for a beautiful view of
the surrounding mountains.
