Don't rely on service once you're in the mountains.

What to Do

We've spent a lot of weekends wandering around this part of the Catskills. Here's what we'd tell you to do if you have extra time before or after the celebration.

Giant Ledge Trailhead

One of the most rewarding hikes in the Catskills, Giant Ledge offers sweeping ridge views for a relatively modest effort. A great option if you want to shake off the wedding weekend.

An 11-mile rail trail along the Ashokan Reservoir with stunning mountain views. Flat and accessible, with three trailheads to choose from along Route 28.

Belleayre Mountain

With the wedding in November, Belleayre may already be open for early ski season. Worth checking conditions if you're a skier or rider looking to sneak in a run.

Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. A full resort and spa in Mt. Tremper that also happens to house the world's largest kaleidoscope. Absolutely worth a stop.

Woodstock, NY

The town itself is worth a wander. Galleries, vintage shops, great food, and enough character to fill an afternoon. Only about 20 minutes from the resort.
