The Catskills

Since the 1980's, when the move Dirty Dancing first hit the movie theaters, I have been wanting to visit the iconic Catskill Mountains of New York. This region holds a special place in history as the annual escape from the heat of New York City.

We spent our week in The Catskills waterfall hiking and small town exploring. Kaaterskill and Bastion Falls are a must see stop. There are easy viewing areas as well as longer hikes to see the bottom of the falls.

We had a nice stop at Hardenburgh Falls on our way to Mine Kill State Park.

Also nearby is the site of the famous Woodstock Festival in Bethel, NY.
