The Catskill Mountains of New York have recently become one of the most sought out country destinations on the East coast. Especially for New Yorkers who are traveling the short three-hour commute from Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York into the mountains for a vast array of adventure sports from skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, horse-back riding, fishing to local country specialties such as antique shopping, farm-to-table country cooking, and wine tasting.
