Woodstock NY Travel Guide When You Need It Most

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.

People go and support musicians, no matter whether they are well known or not. A lot of people are not looking to make it in the big arena. They just want to play for the locals who they usually know. They will play a couple of tunes and have a few beers with their friends afterwards.

There are people who enjoy the quiet life while being fairly close to the city for the sake of convenience. They enjoy the beauty. They also enjoy something a little different. There are young people here as well who are musicians as well as artists. Not everyone walks around in tie-dye t-shirts.

Don't miss out on the center for photography. This is a gallery which is in fact nonprofit. There are many speakers who come here on a regular basis. It is a good idea to plan your trip based on the speaker who comes here during the year because it can be worth your while. Back in the day, musicians such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez used to perform here.

There are a variety of treatments which you can take advantage of. Most spas will give you a package deal and this is great for people who want to spend most of their time here. This combined with time spent outdoors walking on the trails can be something which you will live to remember. Many people come back for an experience like this.

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.
