A guide to the Champlain and Hudson River valleys. From the Tappan Zee and Tarrytown at the gateway to Manhattan, Patricia and Robert Foulkes take the reader up the Hudson all the way to Lake Champlain and Vermont. They explore the surrounding mountains and the lakes of the region, including the best hikes, scenic drives, canoe trips and other activities. Lake George, Killington, Lake Placid, Stockbridge, Lake Mohonk, Rhinebeck and Sleepy Hollow are just a few of the areas visited. Each title in the "Adventure Guide" series offers a mix of practical travel information along with activities such as horse-riding, canoeing, rock climbing or cycling. Each guide offers background information on history, culture, geography and climate. Regional chapters take the reader on an introductory tour, taking in museums, historic sites and local attractions. Then come the adventures - water-skiing, rafting, snowboarding and more. Places to stay and eat, transport, practical concerns, tourism contacts, useful Web sites and e-mail addresses are also covered. Each guide also contains detailed regional and town maps and walking and driving tours.
