Discover the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley arts trail just a couple of hours from New York City, New England and Montreal. Experience world class art, dance, and music on (and off) Upstate New York's most charming Main Streets.

From Catskill to Prattsville along the Rip Van Winkle Trail, choose from a menu of traditional and cutting-edge visual arts, hands-on activities, classical and contemporary music, cozy B&BŐs, and locavore restaurants in the historic birthplace of American art. Get outdoors in the nation's original wilderness area and Romantic retreat with waterfall and escarpment trail hikes in the historic Catskill State Park, where vistas look out over the mighty Hudson and distant Berkshires. Experience an exciting mixture of outdoor adventure and cultural excitement in the same landscape that inspired the likes of Thomas Cole, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Isadora Duncan, Alan Ginsberg, and John Cage.
