(43-minute drive) Once a functioning mine known for its abundance of natural cement, this subterranean site has lived many lives: Campbell’s Soup harvested mushrooms from it, it was earmarked as a nuclear fallout shelter for the region, and experimental musician Tony Levin recorded an album there. (Atlas Obscura has a more thorough history of the site.)
Now, the mine is operated by the Century House Historical Society, which is dedicated to preserving the history of cement production in the region. It’s open to the public for tours—be sure to wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy—and for the occasional concert. This year, you can check out Japanese taiko drumming or a gamelan performance in the mine.

(1 hour 10 minute drive) There’s no shortage of gorgeous scenery in the Catskills, but Kaaterskill Falls is a cut above—and has the Instagram popularity to prove it. There are a couple of ways to get to the 260-foot, two-tiered waterfall, according to Hike the Hudson Valley: From a parking area on Route 23A, you can do a quick, mile-long hike along the Yellow Trail (look for a trailhead kiosk close to Bastion Falls). Otherwise, a viewing platform above the falls is also accessible (and potentially easier to reach) from Laurel House Road, where there’s more parking and clear directions to the falls. Be sure to read the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation’s rules for accessing the falls before you head out.

Kaaterskill Falls
(1 hour 10 minute drive) There’s no shortage of gorgeous scenery in the Catskills, but Kaaterskill Falls is a cut above—and has the Instagram popularity to prove it. There are a couple of ways to get to the 260-foot, two-tiered waterfall, according to Hike the Hudson Valley: From a parking area on Route 23A, you can do a quick, mile-long hike along the Yellow Trail (look for a trailhead kiosk close to Bastion Falls). Otherwise, a viewing platform above the falls is also accessible (and potentially easier to reach) from Laurel House Road, where there’s more parking and clear directions to the falls. Be sure to read the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation’s rules for accessing the falls before you head out.
