Where To Eat & Hike On Your Catskills Road Trip

"Few places in the Catskills are open early enough to grab breakfast before a hike that’ll require a hydration pack and some trekking poles, but luckily, Mara’s On The Way starts serving hikers and commuters driving on NY-28 at 6am. The cheese on the bacon, egg, and cheese is wonderfully gooey, and an addition of a crispy hash brown will give you extra potato-based energy for a day of hiking around the Ashokan Reservoir or up Overlook Mountain. Mara’s is also a drive-thru spot, so you can quickly eat your sandwich on your way to the trailhead, or keep it wrapped in its foil blanket to enjoy at the summit. " - anne cruz
