Taughannock Falls Among stunning fall color (Trip 1)RON WATTS / CORBIS ©
ALONG THE EAST COAST, SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE PICTURESQUE HAMLETS of New England and the gracious plantations of the South, you’ll find the Northeast Corridor. Stretching from Washington DC to Boston, this scenic strip includes America’s most dynamic, cosmopolitan metropolis: New York. But there is so much more to be discovered in this beautiful and remarkably diverse area.
After 48 unforgettable hours in Manhattan, seek out the Jersey Shore or Pennsylvania’s backroads. Further south, Appalachian landscapes await on Virginia’s Skyline Drive, while waterfalls and vineyards provide food for the soul around the Finger Lakes. No matter where you find yourself, you’re guaranteed to find something unexpected and delightful.
