It's a toss-up between a trip west to see the historical sites in the Mohawk Valley and then dinner at Beardslee Castle, or a trip East to dinner and a concert at Tanglewood.

I can't believe someone else took my battenkill idea - guess it's more popular than I thought! There's a great little area of covered bridges near the state border - a little outside of Arlington. I love going there with tubes to jump off the rope underneath the bridge and float down the river. When I was a kid, we would camp there and eat at the State Line Diner, which is no longer in existence.

Kaaterskill Falls is my favorite day/road trip in the area. It's a beautiful yet challenging hike to get to the top tier of the falls and the horseshoe amphitheater behind the falls. But the view once you are up there is pretty amazing.
... said Dave Ozmon on Apr 16, 2013 at 12:42 PM | link
There are just too many of them! Living here, drive any direction and you cant go wrong.
But I'll focus on a day trip to Woodstock: head down early to hike Overlook Mountain - explore the ruins, climb the fire tower, then head back into town for lunch and to hit the fun shops and galleries, or the flea market if its a warm weather weekend...If you're me, you'll treasure hunt in the used bookstores and make a pit stop for tea from Harney & Sons. If you're there all day, stop at New World Home Cooking for dinner in Saugerties (NWBB's big brother!) and then consider taking a back way home - either through the hills up to Palenville and onto the highway in Catskill, or up route 9W through Catskill and all the way up to Coxsacki. Have fun daytripping!
... said Laura on Apr 16, 2013 at 12:42 PM | link
Not to cater to the drawings but Mass MOCA and Williamstown are one of my favorite trips. Williamstown has a great little toy store, a crepe place, and a bunch of great restaurants. The Williamstown College art museum and the CLark are also great places to hit on the way back. Any if you want to make a really long day of it, you could stop at Grafton for an evening stroll.

OK, it's not within an hour (closer to 1.5) but Cooperstown. You can tour great breweries like Ommegang and Butternuts, hit the Baseball HOF, pass a couple of hours on the great back deck of the Otesaga, and grab dinner at Alex and Ika's. I am leaving out a few notable exceptions (e.g. Glimmerglass, etc.) but you've just given me a day!

my favorite road trip from albany is to northampton. the drive is beautiful, you can stop at lee outlets to break it up. i go once a year before the holidays and stock up on unique gifts. the town has amazing shops such as faces and everything in thornes, great restaurants, and some other funky aspects nearby. there is the beer can museum, the dead frog circus, the bridge of flowers, and a stop by smith's botanical gardens is always nice. people watching is always great here as well!

What a tough question for the region known as being close to everything. I love our summer journey to Schroon Lake....it is the perfect little beach town, with a townie bar, famous pizza place, and cheesy little cabin rentals that smell deliciously of Murphy's Oil Soap. There's a hidden beach at the end of the road we rent on that is perfect for kite flying and doggie swimming. But I also love going to Mass MoCA, Cooperstown, Hancock Shaker Village, etc.

My favorite repeated road trip is driving up to Salem Art Works either along the 40 or the 22, and stopping to swim at the riverbend in Shushan along the way. From Salem, crossing into Rupert, Vermont and heading south through some backroads to Manchester for the old Quarry. After a dip there, either crossing back into NY through some more backroads, or heading further south to Bennington for some fish and chips before trucking back to Troy along Route 7.

Although it's more than an hour (hour and a half), my pick is Northampton, MA. It has a wonderful main street and tons of goings on all the time. Even the street performers are often very talented! It has the beautiful Smith College Campus, some really great restaurants, and awesome venues for music, art, and various performances.
If you haven't been, check it out!

I love a drive over to Great Barrington, MA. Take a walk up and down the main drag, have lunch at Gypsy Joynt (try the "ziggy up" burger w/ locally sourced/grass-fed beef, peanut butter, and jam), walk around again, check out some of the shops, grab a coffee at Rubi's for the ride home (and maybe some cheese from the front of the same building - Rubiner's Cheesemongers - for dinner later). Road trips aren't just about the destination - they're about the ride too. This is one of those trips where you can easily take a different route each way, seeing different towns and forests.
