| | Automobile Club of New York - TRAVEL - On Foot Through Catskills Colors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | This is where the Catskill Mountain house once stood, a setting visited by princes and presidents and immortalized by James Fenimore Cooper's fictional hero, Natty Bumppo, when as an old man he recalled a visit here in his youth. |
 | | Offering 100 guided explorations--hiking, walking, canoeing, kayaking, biking and cultural--in the Catskill Park, the Lark is sponsored by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development and the Catskill Mountains Foundation across the four-county forest preserve. |
 | | Although the great mountain houses are gone, the Catskill region boasts a wealth of overnight accommodations, ranging from the elegance of the Emerson in Woodstock (the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild leads a guided walk of Woodstock the second Saturday of the month) to village motels and Victorian bed-and-breakfast gems. |
