There are plenty of things to do in Woodstock New York for Fall. We decided to go on a 4 day trip to the mountains and enjoy the changing of the leaves.
The drive during this time of year is breath taking because of the trees bringing in Fall. As the sun begins to set, the colors of the leaves appear to be a Monét painting.
I would recommend bringing a winter coat because of the cool air that comes in at night in the mountains. But don’t bring your boots because you will surely want to stop at Pegasus Shoe Store for a new pair.
They have an incredible variety for everyone and the sales people are a complete delight. We walked out with 2 pairs of boots!
