The Catskills begin just 90 miles northwest of New York City, close enough that a mountain getaway doesn't require much planning, especially mid-week when the trails are quieter and the slopes are yours. Pine forests open to valley views, waterfalls tumble through shaded ravines, and Hunter Mountain anchors it all with skiing in winter with hiking and festivals in summer. Small villages scattered through the valleys offer farm-to-table dining and the area’s signature slower pace.
Saratoga Springs calls itself the Spa City, and it earns the name. Natural mineral springs have bubbled up here for centuries, and the Roosevelt Baths still offer soaking in the carbonated waters. But Saratoga is equally famous as a racing town. The Saratoga Race Course opened in 1863 and remains America’s oldest sporting venue. For six weeks each summer, the wooden grandstands fill and the whole town vibrates with the energy of thundering hooves.
Upstate New York stretches from the forested peaks of the Catskills to the Victorian spa town of Saratoga Springs, offering mountain air and open sky just two hours north of Manhattan. In winter, the brisk air carries woodsmoke from cabin chimneys where the snow blankets the landscape. In summer, the grandstands fill with the energy of racing season and the hiking trails climb to views that reach for miles. This is where New Yorkers have escaped the city for generations. Lark has two properties in these upstate escapes.
Plan around what you want to do. The Saratoga Race Course runs from mid-July through Labor Day, with the Travers Stakes in late August drawing the biggest crowds. Book well ahead for racing weekends. Ski season at Hunter typically runs December through March. Fall foliage peaks in late September at higher elevations, moving through mid-October. The maples turn first, then the oaks, and the whole region glows against a sharp blue sky.
