A Local's Guide to Upstate New York

If you want to plan a trip in Upstate NY that actually feels memorable (and not like you just Googled “things to do”), then you're in the right place!

Hi, I’m Jackie - an Upstate New York local who’s spent over 20 years finding the best hikes, waterfalls, and off-the-beaten-path spots across the state.

This is the list of everything I’d send a friend if they asked me how to plan the perfect trip here.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • My favorite hikes (from quick road side views to full day adventures)
  • Scenic drives and small towns
  • The very best waterfalls, including lesser known ones 99% of people miss
  • Unique Airbnbs and hotels that are actually worth booking
  • A curated mix of restaurants, breweries and vineyards I always go back to

And the best part is that you get lifetime access. I’m always finding new places in NY, which means I’m always adding new spots and making this map better over time. Once you have it, you’ll keep getting those updates automatically.
