There’s simply no better view of the Hudson River Valley than from atop Hudson Highlands State Park. Where to Stay: Secluded Mountaintop Getaway (from $466/night, sleeps 6) Hilltop Hideaway Forest Villa (from $457/night, sleeps 14) Mullet Hall (from $147/night, sleeps 4).Best Time to Go: first or second week of October.Trees to See: red oak, black oak, white oak, sugar maple, white ash, American beech, black birch, tulip tree, black cherry, American elm and black tupelo.Distance from NYC: 1 hour, 30 minutes by car. ![]() Though October is the best time to take the trip, note that there’s only one weekly train at 9:30 a.m. While the trip is altogether nine hours, the actual train ride is only 2.5 hours each way with a 4.5-hour layover in Old Forge, an adorable old-timey village in the Adirondacks with some of the brightest orange and red trees around. If you want to really take in all the autumn beauty from the road (ahem, and not have your eyes focused on the road itself), this is a great option that goes places most paths and highways don’t. Streams and bridges and bird-watching, oh my! For something a little different, hop on this train ride upstate to experience all the best foliage New York State has to offer. Where to Stay: Crescent Moon Cabin (from $249/night, sleeps 5) Utica Oasis (from $104/night, sleeps 4) Remsen Spa Cabin (from $354/night, sleeps 2).Trees to See: Northern red oak, sugar maple, birch, striped maple and black cherry. ![]()
