Luxe Fall Finger Lakes Escape | Buffalo Overland

Fall Foliage & Finger Lakes Adventure

Get ready for a weekend getaway that'll knock your socks off! This 2-night trip through the Finger Lakes region is perfect for folks looking to escape the daily grind and soak up some serious autumn vibes. We're talking scenic drives, hidden waterfalls, world-class museums, and optional wine tasting – all wrapped up in a cozy camping package. Whether you're an off-road newbie or a seasoned trail warrior, this trip's got something for everyone.

Trip Rundown

Picture this: You roll up in your trail-rated rig (or rent one of ours) and we hit the Level 1 roads. That means easy-going trails with killer views – no hardcore rock crawling required. We've got group campsites all picked out, so you can either bring your own gear or use our top-notch rentals. Our guides know these trails like the back of their hand, so you're in for some sweet spots most folks never get to see. We're talking secluded waterfalls, perfect for those Instagram-worthy shots. And let's not forget the main event – Watkins Glen State Park. We'll take you on guided hikes through some of the most jaw-dropping gorges you've ever laid eyes on.

What's on the Menu

Now, let's talk grub. This ain't no hot dogs and beans situation (unless that's your jam). We're serving up proper meals – breakfast to get you fueled up for the day, trail lunches to keep you going, and dinners that'll have you loosening your belt. And since you've sprung for the Premium Package, we're pulling out all the stops. Think gourmet camp cuisine that'll make you forget you're in the middle of nowhere.

Beyond the Trails

But wait, there's more! We're not just about the great outdoors. You'll get to check out the Corning Museum of Glass – trust me, it's way cooler than it sounds. And for you craft beer and wine lovers, we've got optional tastings at some of the best breweries and wineries in the Finger Lakes. The Premium Package hooks you up with all the tastings, so you can sip to your heart's content (responsibly, of course).

Gear Talk

Let's chat about the nuts and bolts. You're welcome to bring your own camping gear if you've got a setup you love. But if you're opting for our rentals, you're in for a treat with the Premium Package. We're talking plush sleeping bags, comfy air mattresses, and spacious tents that'll make you feel like you're glamping. Our rigs are kitted out with all-terrain tires, skid plates, and just enough lift to handle those dirt roads without breaking a sweat. And don't worry if you're new to this – our guides will give you the lowdown on off-road etiquette and basic techniques to keep you and Mother Nature happy.

Fall's Finest

October in the Finger Lakes? It's like Mother Nature's showing off. We're talking a full-on color explosion – reds, oranges, and yellows as far as the eye can see. The air's got that crisp fall feel, perfect for cozying up around the campfire at night. And speaking of night, stargazing out here is next level. No light pollution means you'll see more stars than you knew existed. Don't forget to pack some layers though – temperatures can swing from t-shirt weather during the day to "where's my beanie?" at night.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

Look, we could go on and on about why this trip rocks, but here's the real deal: It's all about that perfect mix. You get your adrenaline fix with the off-roading, your nature fix with the hikes and waterfalls, and your culture fix with the museum and tastings. It's like a buffet of awesome, and you get to sample it all. Plus, our guides? They're the secret sauce. They know all the local spots, all the best stories, and they're pros at making sure everyone's having a blast, whether you're a first-timer or a regular.

Time to Lock It In

Here's the scoop – this trip runs from October 18-20, right in the sweet spot of fall. Spots are filling up faster than a cold beer on a hot day, so if you're feeling it, now's the time to pull the trigger. Yeah, the deposit's non-refundable, but trust us, this is one of those "no regrets" kind of deals. You're getting the full Premium Package treatment – that means all the fancy camping gear, every tasting on offer, and those little extras that make a good trip great. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot, pack your sense of adventure, and get ready for a weekend you'll be talking about till next fall rolls around. Let's do this!
