After the autumn rains, the golden leaves fall one after another, and there are few branches left. But I didn't want to give up such a beautiful autumn so easily, so I seized the last good weather of the week and put on my camera and went to Roosevelt Island.
The sky is blue, the clouds are like dreams, the waves of water are like scales, and the peace and tranquility are peaceful. Roosevelt Island is a long and narrow island, about 3,000 meters in length and 240 meters in maximum width, between the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens, with a population of 10,000, known as "Mini Manhattan". The Queens Bridge, which crosses the East River, is located directly above Roosevelt Island.
Mohonk Mountain House and its surrounding Minnewaska State Park in detail in this article are two hours north of New York (search 555 can get a detailed guide to this place), it should be noted that Mohonk Mountain House can only be visited for a fee, one is to spend 22 or 27 US dollars per person (weekdays or weekends) to buy hiking tickets, can not be booked in advance, purchased on the same day, parking spaces are limited, While sold out, after purchasing hiking tickets, you can enjoy the lake and mountains along the hiking trail, but you are not allowed to enter the hotel area, and you need to bring your own food and water. Another is either accommodation (very expensive), or ordering meals on site (there are a variety of options, the approximate price for autumn weekends is breakfast 42.5 knives a adult, lunch or dinner 78.25 knives for an adult, children about half the price),
If you order food, you can enter the hotel, you can also participate in the daily house tour (11:15am), enjoy afternoon tea and cookies (4 o'clock daily), visit the hotel's on-site botanical garden, and participate in the evening entertainment program (9 pm daily), the weekend weekend order here is also very popular, weekend brunch and dinner will be booked very early in advance, if there is a need for visiting may wish to make plans early.
If you think Mohonk Mountain House is too expensive or didn't grab a parking space, you can also visit Minnewaska State Park, which is a 25-minute drive away, the fare is 10 knives per car, there are mountains and lakes and waterfalls, and the scenery is also very good.
If you want to go further, you can also go to the Catskill mountain area to enjoy autumn, the main attractions in this area are shown in Figure 1 below, search 552 to get the full guide to this place will not be repeated here.
This year, due to the excessive temperature and little rain in September and the infestation of diseases and insect pests, the autumn leaves belong to the obvious small year, so please reduce the expectation value of autumn appreciation appropriately.
Tomorrow we will bring you the latest autumn leaf express from last weekend, with the latest information from Mohonk Mountain House and Ringwood state park last weekend, and other subscribers are welcome to send us the latest photos of autumn in the vicinity of New York.
Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 to 5:30, and autumn weekends are very crowded, it is also likely that too many people are not allowed to enter, in order to encourage diversion of people, if the weekend arrives before 9 to 11 o'clock, adult tickets are $12; admission tickets after 11 am are $18.
