Let’s explore Minnewaska State Park Preserve and Robibero Winery, both within an hour and a half of New York City! After enjoying Awosting Falls, head back the way you came and hop on the Sunset Carriage Road, and hike another .8 miles to Lake Minnewaska. From the Lake Minnewaska carriage road, you can take either Upper Awosting or the Castle Point carriage Road and hike further up for some really amazing views of the surrounding mountains.

Going without the luxury of four solid walls will certainly keep the green in your wallet, but even if camping isn’t your thing, you can still plan an awesome budget road trip while still sleeping in a comfy bed at night. While you don’t have to budget for every single expenditure of your road trip, it is super useful to have a ballpark idea of how much your trip will cost so you can start saving. You can’t change your car’s MPG, but you can change the distance that you will travel on your trip to save money. Here’s what we’ve found over years and years of road tripping: private campgrounds are the most expensive (around $50 a night), followed by state parks ($25 – $50 a night).

In 2020 I made a pledge to try and use more sustainable products when possible in my life and cut down on single-use plastics. and I feel so much better about tossing food we didn’t eat or has gone bad into the compost vs the trash. Stasher bags are made with non-toxic silicone, microwave safe, freezer safe, you can even pop it in the oven or sous vide! Truth be told we still use paper towels, we have them both on the counter and sometimes paper towels just feel like the right choice, but now that we are composting I don’t feel as bad throwing them away cause I can now compost them!
