Description
There’s no better way to witness the region’s beautiful fall foliage than from the sky on a private helicopter tour. Blazing orange, red, and yellow leaves offer unparalleled sights for all to see during leaf-peeping season which lasts from September to mid-October. As the leaves change, the rolling hills paint a tapestry of vibrant colors along the region’s scenic landscape.
Take in aerial views of some of the must-visit spots in either of our locations. Marvel at the magnificent Hudson River as it winds down the valley, and see the multi-colored Mountains, standing high above the basin as you fly through the sky.
The 360° view of the region’s fall foliage during peak leaf-peeping season sets a picturesque backdrop for a romantic getaway, iconic proposal, or an unforgettable adventure.
