The fall leaves bring tourists to the Mid Hudson Valley region. There are many ways to engage in leaf peeping, however, in this post we will be considering leaf peeping by boat.
Hudson River Cruises located at the Rondout in Ulster County operates the Rip Van Winkle. which offers 2 hour tours on the Hudson River.
The next logical question would be: When does leaf peeping begin in the Mid Hudson Valley? Leaf peeping will be at its best in Mid October and the Rip Van Winkle will start the 2 hour Leaf Peeping tour on October 11th.
This tour is available from Tuesday through Sunday with the cruise starting at 2:30 PM
How much does it cost?
Adults $21
Children 4-11 $13
Over 65 $19
Under 4 Free
There is a $2.00 coupon available on the website

I have taken the 2 hour cruise and it was well worth it.
I can't sell you the Hudson River, only views. I would be delighted to help you find a Hudson Valley home.

What a beautiful picture, Jennifer. By the way, I've never heard the term "leaf Peeping" before.
Thanks for sharing the photo. We have a different rain pattern here and just don't see the lovely coloration like you do in the Northeast.
Andrea, OK I have lived in New England for a long time and this is the first time that I have heard view the Fall Foliage as "Leaf Peeping", but I kind of like it :) :) :)
Debbie it is a common phrase around here. I just Googled the term and it seem it is well used. There is even a site leafpeepers.com
Vickie the photo is from a couple years ago. I am not sure yet what the season will be like, lots of rain and some leaves coming down prematurely.
George I am surprise this is a new phrase for you. From what I can see it is a term used in new England. I like it too, fall foliage sound too stuffy for something so fun and casual :)
What a great idea for a post Jenn. Leaf peepers....hhhhmm....defintely an area where people come to do just that!
Jennifer: Lovely view, and a two hour boat ride would be so relaxing!
