Phoenicia
About 2 ½ hours from NYC, you’ll know you are in the Catskills when you rub shoulders with motorcyclists, skiers, artists, and Hudson Valley visitors looking for a good breakfast. Hike along a trail, take a yoga class in a heated studio near town, or visit the 4-star spa at the Emerson Resort in Mt. Tremper, which is a short drive away. Enjoy a trippy kaleidoscope show in the The Worlds Largest Kaleidescope at the Emerson Store, right near the resort.
