Thanks for the info. Upstate New York tends to be overlooked for autumnal foliage, with New England getting preference. But New York is easily just as beautiful.
Yep, Stephen is right on the mark. Upstate NY is overlooked. We take a drive up from Manhattan next month to visit friends in Windsor, NY and Binghamton.
We’ll just miss the changing color of leaves but seeing the Caskill Mountains is always worth the drive during apple season. Good article, Dave.
