Reiserouten boston

In dieser Saison werden wir tiefer reisen als je zuvor. Afrika und der Indische Ozean bieten eine Welt der Sensationen. Aber das ist noch nicht alles! Unsere umfangreichen Reiserouten sind jetzt noch besser als je zuvor. Die Region ist so kompakt und reichhaltig, dass wir auch nach 25 Jahren immer wieder neue Ziele entdecken.

There are very many trees very colorful and that tempts to stop constantly. A big detour for a lighthouse and so we don't get much done that day. Drive from Rockland to Portland, Pemaquit Lighthouse.

Today we have very bad weather, it pours almost all day. Drive from Portland to Syracus. Drive from Niagara Falls to Elmira. Letchworth SP is quite nice, unfortunately the weather is only mediocre.

In Elmira it is hardly possible to get a hotel room spontaneously in the evening. Drive from Elmira to Wilkes Barre. Drive from Wilkes Barre to Newport. Drive from Newport to Middleboro. Drive to Boston and return flight. Massasoit SP, quite nice park with colorful trees to finish the vacation. Cape Cod is the ultimate beach getaway destination from not only Boston, but the entire East Coast and with only 2 hours on the road separating you from all it has to offer, you might need to rethink your plans for next weekend.

There's amazing beaches all over Cape Cod with the southern part of the peninsula particularly popular - head to Hyannis and the nearby Craigville Beach to enjoy the relatively calm waters in a cove. Cape Cod National Seashore at the tip of Cape Cod has amazing long stretches of perfect sand beaches, but the water is cooler and rougher here and sea creatures including sharks are more common - helicopters frequently circle warning of any spotted great whites!

Make sure you make it all the way around Cape Cod Bay to Provincetown. This is the kind of perfect seaside town where you might have a bottomless brunch to get you started in the morning before seeing the Pilgrim Monument on the spot where the Mayflower Pilgrims first set foot in the New World.

Dinner options offer a lot more than just the amazing local lobster - head to the P-town Canteen to try a real New England clam chowder or the cod skillet. The White Mountain National Forest covers over 1, square miles in northern New Hampshire and is one of the best places to come and spend some time in Nature from Boston. There's also only one National Park within these 4 states - the remote Acadia National Park off the coast of Maine 22 below , so if you're going on a road trip from Boston, you're not exactly spoiled for choice.

Mount Washington is the tallest mountain in northeastern United States topping out at 6, feet 1, m and there's dozens of hiking routes up and around the mountain including the Appalachian Trail which passes through the park.

If you like driving, however, you're in for a treat. There's a road that goes all the way to the summit offering amazing driving and spectacular views - everything you want from the perfect road trip. Washington bumper sticker included in the toll price! You also get an audio guide for the way up and a different one for the way down on CD. If you don't have a CD player and actually even if you do , wind the windows down and enjoy the breeze as you make your way up the mountain instead!

Take care when hiking in the White Mountains whenever you go and especially in the winter or during stormy weather. Forest Service publicly states that some of the peaks here have the worst weather in America. Wind speeds can reach over miles per hour and winters can get very cold here so come prepared!

Green mountains run up through the state of Vermont and a large part of these mountains forms the Green Mountain National Forest. Unlike many other National Forests, there are quite a few pretty small towns throughout the protected forest area.

Bennington, Manchester and Arlington are all worth a stop with historic buildings and a relaxed mountain atmosphere. There are 3 ski resorts in the Green Mountains - Mount Snow is the most popular due to it being the closest to cities like Boston and New York but Stratton Mountain and Bromley Mountain are decent too.

In the summer you can hike along some of the most famous trails in the country - both the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail pass through the park and share the route over a mile stretch. If you want to mix up your exploration of nature, head to Manchester to visit the Lincoln Family Home which is a mansion where the son of President Lincoln lived, and the historic Old First Congregational Church.

A little further south in Bennington, you can visit the Bennington Battle Monument which commemorates the famous American Revolution battle and is over feet tall. Killington is the largest ski resort in eastern United States with ski runs spread over an area of over 1, acres and 21 lifts that take you up the mountain. Once you've crossed the river, Route 4 heads up into the mountains and goes all the way to Killington. For those who don't like skiing or snowboarding, Killington offers every other snow-based activity you can think of.

Cross-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, ice skating and even go on a giant sleigh pulled along by a Snowcat. For skiers and snowboarders, Killington offers so much it is the most visited ski resort in New England. A lot of the runs and areas are targeted at expert skiers - there are 5 snow parks with various jumps, a large half-pipe and difficult runs including the double black diamond Outer Limits mogul field.

Having said that, there's enough for beginners to get on with too. The Snowshed mountain is a wide open slope exclusively for beginners and there are other novice-friendly runs as well as a ski school in the resort. To get here from Boston, you'll need to drive down to Point Judith, Rhode Island - the journey will take you through Providence and should take an hour and a half if traffic is kind to you. Standard ferries run every 2 hours in the summer and only a few times a day in the winter so check the schedule on the Block Island Ferry website.

Spending time on Block Island is easy - the atmosphere is really relaxed and all the beaches around the island are public and free. Yes - even the parking! There's curious local shops to explore, amazing restaurants to visit and, best of all, the opportunity to delete the busy thoughts from your brain and enjoy some quality time away from it all.

Stowe is another hugely popular ski resort in Vermont and although it's smaller than Killington 15 above , the extra time to get there means it's often not as busy and can be a great option for a weekend road trip from Boston. The Stowe Mountain ski resort is a few miles up Mountain Road Route from the town with the skiing area split between Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak either side of the valley.

Although there's only 12 lifts, most of these are chairlifts and one fast gondola up to Cliff House which makes the way up more relaxing. Off the ski slops, the historic town of Stowe is worth spending some time in as well - there's pretty local shops and restaurants in classic wooden clad buildings that put on the charm.

The hotel options in Stowe are great - there's some very good upmarket options but the average standard is very high too. Smugglers Notch is only 15 minutes away with its own smaller ski area.

If you want to go skiing on a budget, it's a decent option although if you can afford Stowe, you should definitely go for it as the town, resort and skiing are all much better. Lake George in upstate New York is a perfect spot to come and relax surrounded by tree-covered hills. The shorter and more direct route that passes through New Hampshire's Green Mountains may be more scenic, but takes a solid hour longer than heading along the I to Albany and then driving north to Lake George via Saratoga Springs.

Lake George became a popular destination for the millionaires of New York at the turn of the 20th century as you could get here on a direct train from the Big Apple. Today you can see why they took such a liking to the place - the best way to see the scenery around the lake is to go on a steamboat cruise.

Take note that the cruises only run over the summer months from May to October and October might just be the best month to come for the beautiful fall leaves. There's plenty of hiking trails either side of the lake although the eastern shore has a better choice and some great overlooks - the Black Mountain Trailhead has great views down to the lake and is a relatively easy hike and the Sleeping Beauty Mountain Trail is phenomenal although you have to get here early to beat the crowds and get a parking spot.

If your ideal road trip destination is somewhere where you can do absolutely nothing for a a couple of days or a week, then Lake Champlain in northern Vermont is where you need to drive. Follow the I from Boston to Concord and then get on the I which will take you all the way to Burlington - a pretty simple route for such a long drive. The town of Burlington is a great place to stay - there's a picturesque historic downtown around Church Street with cobbled streets and buildings that tell the history of this town that was first founded in The combined population of Burlington and its neighbor South Burlington is just over 60, but that is enough to make this the biggest city in Vermont at almost 4 times the size of Rutland which is the second largest.

Yes - Vermont is not very densely populated! The city and the lake area are absolutely perfect for taking life in the slow lane and not doing much at all.

Wake up late, have a leisurely brunch, go out on a boat and then try some craft beer at the Foam Brewers before dinner. Rinse and repeat for however long you're staying. The Big Apple may be a solid 4 hour drive from Boston but if you're after a big city break, New York is the obvious choice for a road trip.

You could get there on a train, but those take 4 hours as well and you need to add time to get to and from the train station at either end. I may be a little biased on the road trip front, but you'll see a lot more on your way if you drive and you have the advantage of being able to see places just outside New York too.

If that's not enough to get you excited, you've got some amazing neighborhoods to explore away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan - from Greenpoint to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn has an unbelievably diverse mix of people and culture and you haven't seen New York if you've not been to the Bronx. If you want to make it into a bigger road trip, head back via Long Island and explore its wineries and the famously relaxed way of life before hopping on the ferry across Long Island Sound.
