Woodstock NY Travel Guide For A Great Escape

By Eric Long


When one thinks of Woodstock in the United States, images of hippies dancing about to Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens arise. You think of mud and young people covered in this as they slide around before they reach for the sky, celebrating freedom. However, there is a lot more to know about the area. With a Woodstock NY travel guide, you can get a lot out of this beautiful part of New York.

Many people are surprised that the area is not just about the festival dating back to the late sixties. There is so much more to this beautiful area than this. You can find out about a couple of trails heading into the mountains. If you want to explore your spiritual side, you may want to take a walk to the monastery. Many people come here just to spend time here.

You are surrounded by nature with many exciting trails where you can go hiking. There are some great spas where you can get away from everything and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and the office environment. It is great to be able to talk to the folk here about their lives. Not everyone here are aged hippies.

There are some great little pubs to go to which are run by the locals. For folk who like to people watch, this is a great spot to start off at. There are also some bistros run by aged hippies, serving things like waffles, omelettes and other veggie delights. This is something to enjoy as well. There are more gourmet treats which you can find in other parts of town as well.

There are many spas which give you the perfect treatment in among this natural surroundings. The massage you receive is the best thing to receive stress and tension which piles up from the lifestyle that one is so used to. It is a time where you can simply relax and have this time for yourself.

If you are looking for a couple of Bohemian spots to hang out, then this would be Tinker street. You can find many homemade products here. The original sellers usually have their own stores here. It is not commercialized. People are always friendly so it is an experience, even if you are going for a stroll.

For many people who have not been to Woodstock, they simply love to people watch. The best thing is to go to a local restaurant. You will see some of the hippies serving proper comfort food. Of course, this is not gourmet style. There are a few of these restaurants available as well. But it is always a nice idea to be able to live like a local and get an idea of what it was like to live at this time.

Most people drive here. However, you can also catch a bus here. You can hire a bike and get around the town on your own. It is small, so you don't need a car. Bethel is the place where the festival took place. It is a kilometer away from the town. This gives you some idea of the distances.
