Scenic Drives

Wind through mountain passes, river valleys, and charming villages on the most beautiful roads in the Catskills.

Roads Worth Travelling

Greene County’s roads were built to follow the natural contours of the land — through deep cloves, along creek valleys, and over mountain passes. Every season brings a different character to these drives, from spring wildflowers and summer canopy to the legendary fall foliage that draws visitors from across the world. Pull over often; the best views appear around every bend.
