Mild hike at the end of Spruceton Road. Waterfall about 2 miles in. Stop by the Spruceton Inn for a drink afterwards.

Gorgeous, otherworldly views of the mountains over the water. Totally flat.

Fire tower with excellent views. Moderate to difficult hiking. Second highest peak in the Catskills.

Cool old hotel ruin you can walk through. Relatively long trip to the top, but worth it for the views.

The highest peak in the Catskills.

Very intense. Take it on if you like a challenge. There are numerous viewpoints along the way, so you don’t have to do the whole things.

Gorgeous views for hikers of all levels. Go to Newman’s Ledge for a mellow climb. Continue to North Point more intensity and incredible 360° sightlines.

The most famous hike in the Catskills, and the most beautiful waterfall and swimming hole. Be prepared for crowds and slippery rocks, but it’s a pretty low-key hike.

We haven’t done it yet, but it sounds like a lot of fun (and we might do it the day after the wedding!) Supposedly, they have one of the longest zip lines in the world.

This 1-hour ride down the Esopus is so much fun (and more thrilling than you'd think). We laughed the whole way. It’s safe, but not appropriate for small children or the visually or physically impaired.

A very short wall with 10-12 moderate sport routes on the area's iconic sandstone.

Our favorite local eatery. Absolutely delicious locally sourced fare served in a cozy, hip diner setting with an outdoor picnic area. Only open until 5pm. We recommend going for brunch before our wedding.

This “New American Gastropub” looks pretty old school – white tablecloths, carpet, etc – but the food is amazing. We were blown away. It’s right next door to the Graham & Co.

Owned by acclaimed NYC restaurateurs who ran Le Bernadin, Picholine, the Hudson River Club, and Gramercy Tavern. Excellent food, somewhat upscale setting.

Delicious beer and gorgeous Spruceton Valley views. Just down the street from Newton Farm. Run by a local couple.

This luxurious facility offers a range of spa services and they come with a full day pass to the pool, hot tub and steam room (which can also be purchased on its own for $25). There’s also a World’s Largest Kaleidoscope show that is well worth the $5 ticket price. Just trust us.

We haven’t been here, but it sounds awesome. They have a weekly Sunday morning program where you can practice the art of meditation and hear a talk about it. Might be nice after the reception.

A public garden in the Catskill Mountains dedicated to displaying and managing native plant communities of the northeastern US. Its mountain top elevation of 2,400 feet at the top of the New York City Watershed creates a unique environment with 178 acres of plant collections, natural meadows, wetlands, forest and Devonian bedrock.
