A must-go for the Gilrane side of the family for a few decades that has become one of Michael's favorite places to visit in the summer too!
Theater and Concerts in Albany
Albany is a hub for the arts and entertainment. Kelsey especially loved going to the palace theater because of its preservation over the years
Local Beach day, Kayaking, or hike around North-South Lake
409 N Lake Rd, Haines Falls, NY 12436
Kelsey and Michael enjoy North-South lake mostly for the water, but it also has great trails for the more casual hikers.
Howe Caverns
255 Discovery Drive, Howes Cave, NY 12092
Go explore a cave! A great option for any weather situation for the whole family. Kelsey and her family always enjoyed visiting here.
MOPCO:The Mopco Improv Theatre
10 North Jay Street, Schenectady, NY 12305
See an Improv Show or take a class. Kelsey found this theater while on an assignment nearby in 2017, and guarantees it won't disappoint.
Hike the Catskills
We can't suggest a better way to take in these mountains better than hiking them firsthand. Mike's favorite - CatskillMountaineer.com has some of the best hikes scoped out if you're not familiar with the area!
Motorcycle riding
(Various Locations - see link),
There's no shortage of scenic rides for our motorcycle riding friends in these mountains. Check the link for group rides as well as suggested routes!
Mountain Biking
Michael recommends Windham Mountain Outfitters for local mountain bike rentals, but you can't go wrong with the views wherever you go.
