Champlain Hudson guide
• Sunday, July 19, 2009 - Climate
| The climate along the Champlain-Hudson corridor is a wel-come four-season kaleidoscope. Spring, with all of its blossoming and renewal, is often late and short, but beautiful.Wildflowers in spring delight walkers, and gardens bloom allsummer. The growing season continues from early spring through latefall and the “brown” period does not begin until November. Summer canbe hot, but not as humid as in seacoast regions or the southern part of thecountry. Hiking, walking, strolling and visiting are then in full swing, butthis area is not as crowded as other summer locations, and much of it iswoods or untouched wilderness, with little habitation. You can be alone asyou head out into the mountains that line the valleys. Fall is magical,with the change of color from green to yellow, orange and red, especiallyamong stands of hardwoods, and the moderately brisk temperatures aregreat for hiking. Winter can be crisp and clear, but not usually as cold ason the northern plains, and the region’s snow sports attract people fromall over the East. Storms may come and go but roads are plowed and sanded promptly. |
