Mid-Atlantic Trips

(GORP.com)

The mountains of this region provide much appreciated relief to the urban folk clustered along the coast. The Appalachian mountains range from north to south, and in upstate New York the Adirondacks, which are actually part of the Canadian shield, stand guard. Whitewater rivers here are short and sweet. Opportunities for several day journeys are practically nil. But who cares? This is an area in which quick escape counts for a lot.
