What to Do on a Solo Fall Vacation in the Catskills

Who says you can’t go on fall vacation on your own? Solo vacations are the perfect way to relax and recharge your batteries. Booking a trip for one to Emerson Resort & Spa means you can do as much or as little as you want without worrying about other people’s opinions. If you’re curious about what to do in the Catskills on your solo getaway, the short answer is anything you want.

7 Things to Do on an Upstate New York Fall Vacation

Several of the most popular things to do in the Catskills are just as enjoyable on your own as they would be with a group.

1. Reconnect with nature, and yourself, on a two-night Solomoon getaway. The Emerson Solomoon package includes a $200 credit and a private two-hour Nature Journaling workshop. If a day trip better suits your schedule, treat yourself to a day of pampering by booking a day at the Emerson Spa. Our on-site spa offers several treatments designed to soothe you from head to toe.
2. Take in the colors of the season. Whether hiking to an area waterfall like Kaaterskills Falls or exploring our Brookside Wander path, there are countless ways to surround yourself with fall foliage.
3. One of the best ways to enjoy the fall scenery is on an outing with the Catskill Mountain Railroad. Book your seat on either the Catskills Fall Foliage Adventure or Pumpkin Express train.
4. Taste the flavors of the season at Stone Ridge Orchard. Located in Stone Ridge, this spot gives you the chance to pick your own apples as well as enjoy cider flights.
5. See what seasonal events are taking place. Browse the Ulster County calendar of events for fun happenings like the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival and area farmers’ markets.
6. Take a moment to center yourself by signing up for a yoga class. We offer a number of class styles, including restorative yoga and guided meditation.
7. Grab your favorite book and head to a nearby winery. Spots like Robibero Family Winery and Benmarl Winery offer not only incredible vino but also breathtaking views.
