Well, it's no wonder we found ourselves placed for peak leaf peeping. Our four-day escape from NYC - longest trip since January, and only the second involving overnight stays since covid arrived - took us north, and then farther north. We visited friends in Sullivan County and stayed over in Poughkeepsie before staying two nights in an Airbnb in Schuylerville, which allowed two day trips to the mighty Adirondacks. At first 4000 feet didn't sound like "High Peaks" to me but we deferred to the maples.
