Sure, Hudson Valley and the Hamptons are easy go-tos for New Yorkers. But if you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path trip, we suggest you set your sights a bit further north. From an ultra-luxe lakefront estate to an idyllic New England village, these are the secret upstate getaways to see this fall.
Letchworth State Park
When you picture the Grand Canyon, you probably imagine the arid cliffs of Arizona’s most famous national park. But just an hour outside Buffalo, you'll find New York's own "Grand Canyon of the East."
Letchworth State Park encompasses 14,000 acres along the Genesee River, which thunders at the base of a gorge. Here, 66 miles of hiking trails and scenic overlooks provide breathtaking views of the three main waterfalls — the largest of which flows over a 600-foot cliff.
For the best bird's-eye view, plan a hot air balloon ride over the gorge to take in the fall foliage. Then, at the end of the evening, curl up by the fireplace at the cozy Glen Iris Inn, a bucolic 19th-century country estate that sits on the edge of the ridge.
