My husband and I will be in Schenectady for a family event on Memorial Day, and we're staying until the following Saturday to explore the Adirondack area.
We have reservations in Albany the night before our event and the night before our flight home to Chicago, so we need suggestions for the four days in between.
We're not familiar with upstate New York at all, so it's hard to narrow down our options from the mass of information online. We'd really appreciate some suggestions for a starting point and what to focus on.
We'd like to find a town with a reasonable selection of affordable motels (we're not campers, we like electricity, private baths and Internet access), where we can reach interesting hiking trails and historical sites no more than a 45-minute drive in any direction.
We did survive Bryce and Zion last spring, but we're really not up for anything quite that strenuous this year. We're looking for good photo opportunities and good food -- we're not into theme parks, water slides or shopping malls.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
