For one thing, the views just can’t be beat. During peak foliage season, while the trees are ablaze with shades upon shades of red, orange and yellow, the already-breathtaking vistas in this area really take the beauty factor up to another level. The area has a number of state parks to stroll through, but for something extra special, consider a place like Letchworth State Park, which has earned the nickname “Grand Canyon of the East” and was actually voted the best attraction in the state in 2017. With towering cliffs and deep gorges carved by the Genesee River, thundering waterfalls, and a variety of overlooks that provide views deep into the canyon, Letchworth is a one-of-a-kind place already, but the extra pop of color adds a whole new dimension to its beauty. And of course, who could forget the famous Niagara Falls, which looks even more stunning with a backdrop of gorgeous, crisp fall colors framing it.

Wherever you go, there’s plenty of opportunity to find shopping, dining, entertainment and festivals, art, antiques, museums and historic sites, and just about anything else you could hope to enjoy during an autumn weekend away. And there are plenty of places to stay, too, from quaint and quiet inns and B&Bs to five-star hotels, so you can plan to spend as long here as you like.

Being in an area known for its miles of rolling farmland not only makes for great views, but also presents the perfect opportunity to enjoy the freshest flavors of fall. Farm stands are operating well into the autumn, and many orchards open their doors this time of year, too. Pick your own apples, or pick up pies and baked goods, freshly-pressed cider, hot cider donuts, or one of the tons of other local favorites you find in these places, like honey, real maple syrup, artisan cheeses, and homemade jams. Of course, the area supports plenty of wineries, craft breweries, hard cideries, and distilleries as well, so you’ll have your choice of beverages to wash it all down with.

Whatever your perfect fall weekend includes, make sure you squeeze in a trip to Western New York before the season is over and give yourself a chance to take in the views, enjoy the local flavors, explore the cities and towns, and most importantly, make memories that’ll last all winter long.
