Where To Do Fall Stuff Within 90 Minutes Of NYC
"Beacon, NY; 90 minutes from Midtown This is one of the best and most popular fall hikes near NYC, so if you’re going to hike Breakneck Ridge, you’ll want to get an early start. There’s no proper parking lot, so you’ll need to find a spot along the side of the road, and those can fill up quickly. Once you’re on the trail, expect a short but intense scramble to several breathtaking overlooks before a gentle descent back to the trailhead. You do need to feel comfortable with heights and have a baseline level of physical fitness to do this hike, but the leaf-peeping is unparalleled. There are usually a few food trucks at the base of the hike, but you’ll still want to come prepared with plenty of water and snacks." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick
