Scenic East Coast Vacation Ideas
« on: July 19, 2018, 01:24:18 PM »
I am looking for a 3 day 2 night getaway for a couple.  Needs to be within a few hours drive of NY/NJ area.  We've done the mystic/newport area.  Prefer a place where we can find a nice hotel as well.  I'd really hop on a plane to Colorado but not sure that it makes sense for that short of a trip.  Any ideas?  TY!

Shenandoah national park? Upstate New York? Vermont-new Hampshire? Maryland Eastern shore?

You can head up to the Finger Lakes to the beautiful Watkins Glen State Park, along with beautiful random boating and parks, and from there you can go on the middle day up to Niagara Falls. Driving time to Watkins Glen from NY/NJ about 4-4.5 hrs. From there to Niagara about 2-2.5 hrs. driving.

Vermont-new Hampshire

You can head up to the Finger Lakes...
is a good option as well.

Seems like Shenandoah National Park is closest.  Checking the weather though, may be terrible weather and that would kill all of this!  Thank everyone
