Head for the hills
To savor Oktoberfest you need to work up a thirst. Try taking a guided hike over the Palisades cliffs of the lower Hudson Valley. Your reward for reaching Bear Mountain? All the German food and beer you can stomach, but it’s not just about the destination – the journey is just as special. As the Manhattan skyline gives way to a forest carpeted by autumnal leave, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Bavaria. Real beer drinkers hike to Oktoberfest.
