Like, comment, and subscribe for more immersive road trips, local history, and scenic getaways! Once home to the Esopus and Mohican tribes, this enchanting region has inspired explorers, artists, and nature lovers for centuries. In the 19th century, Frederick Church and Thomas Cole—founders of the Hudson River School—immortalized the area’s dramatic peaks, lush valleys, and the iconic Kaaterskill Falls, a 260-foot waterfall and one of the most photographed spots in the Catskills.

The Catskills derive their name from the phrase “the land of the wild cat,” reflecting a deep Native American reverence for these rugged mountains and forests. With their kaleidoscope of autumn colors, the Catskills remain a mesmerizing escape just a few hours north of NYC—perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway or a creative retreat. Whether you’re exploring scenic hiking trails, visiting quaint towns, or soaking in panoramic vistas, fall brings an extra layer of magic to this storied landscape.

Today, the Catskills continue to captivate both city dwellers seeking tranquility and adventurers yearning for the call of the wild. Embrace the season’s hues, immerse yourself in local art and history, and discover why the Hudson Valley has long been a haven for dreamers and wanderers alike. Enjoy the drive, and let this captivating region welcome you into the heart of autumn!
