On Oct 17 2008, I went to upstate New York to see the fall foliage. Specifically, Mohonk preserve. The Mohonk Preserve is located in the Shawangunk Ridge, a section of the Appalachian Mountains, 90 miles (140 km) north of New York City in Ulster County, New York. The weather was perfect and the foliage is close to peak. I did a short hike up the preserve. It was pretty from up there. You can literally see the different patches of color on the trees (yellow, orange, red). Two years ago I was at Acadia National Park, Maine. At that time it was already off peak. This time, I got to see the whole thing.
