"Tucked away in the lowlands of the Adirondacks, a few miles south of Lake George, Saratoga Springs, New York, is surrounded by some of the most striking landscapes in all of Upstate. In the summer, tourists from far and wide flock to Saratoga Springs to watch world-class thoroughbred horse racing. But once the season ends and the leaves begin to change, Saratoga Springs transforms into the perfect cozy small town to catch a bit of autumnal charm."

Plus, its acres of parks make it the perfect destination for fall foliage seekers looking for destinations that go far beyond the usual New England hotspots. And its parks aren't just filled with beautiful landscapes and long hiking trails. There's something here for every kind of traveler, history fans, art lovers, and outdoor adventurers alike."
""I love the fall here because the craziness of racing season dies down, but the Oklahoma track is open, so you can still see the horses running in the morning and training," says Sara Mikula, concierge of the Saratoga Arms hotel and a lifelong resident of the Capital-Saratoga area. "The charm of downtown really comes out with that change of the cool air and the leaves turning."
