Most people immediately think of a huge and bustling metropolis when a mention of New York is made. However, New York state is much more diverse and offers a surprising array of outdoor adventures and natural wonders. New York’s landscape widely varies from region to region with towering mountains to the north and a coastal to the southern part of the state.

Such diversity makes New York State a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who flock to the Catskill Mountains in the winter to enjoy excellent downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and ski-jumping. In the warmer months, the Catskills are great for whitewater rafting, hiking and climbing. New York has plenty of waterfronts as well, with parts of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean within its borders.
