Anyone who’s been to this little ol’ town in the Hudson Valley knows there’s nothing like New Paltz in the fall.

It’s the perfect time to layer up with your favorite fall fashion pieces…

…and you won’t believe the beauty you’ll find during your walks to class.

Apple cider donuts are a perfect fall treat from local farmer’s markets and farm stands!

Even the hardest and longest of days (hello, midterms!) are when you’re surrounded by natural beauty like this.
