Umzila Ovela eCatskill, eNew York, landela iNew York State Route 23 West ukuya ePrattsville. Umzila we-Backtrack 23 East ukuya eMgwaqweni Wombuso 23AMpumalanga ngeCatskill Park. Lapho uMzila 23A East uphela, landela US Route 9W North kuya kuMzila 23 East. Qhubekela ngaphesheya kweRip van Winkle Bridge (inkokhelo), bese ujika ngakwesokudla ku-State Route 9G South ukuya ekungeneni kwesandla sobunxele kwi-Historic Site ye-Olana State.
"Siyakwamukela ezweni likaRip Van Winkle," ufunda isibonakaliso sokuthi abathungi abagibeli bahamba ngasentshonalanga ku-Route 23 bebhekene ne-skyline skyline.
Kwakukhona kulezi ziqongo zasendulo, eziyimfene emagqabhagwini amhlophe, okuyiqiniso ukuthi ukuthi u-Washington Irving wayengumuntu onjani owaziwayo, wabona izidalwa eziyinqaba ezidlala ezingeni eziyisishiyagalolunye, ezitshengisa utshwala, wabe eselala ubusuku obuneminyaka engama-20. Abathengisi bezindaba nabaculi baphakamisa lezi zindonga ezinamathele ezihlahleni ezithwala izihlahla esikhathini eside ngaphambi kokuba lesi sifundazwe sibe indawo yokuvakasha efinyeleleka futhi ethandwa. Izigcawu eziyingqayizivele ezifakwe emgqeni futhi ziqoshwe ezintabeni zisuka empilweni njengoba ulandela indlela ephikisayo yalokhu kuhamba kwezulu.
E-East Windham, qiniseka ukuthi ususa i-Route 23 ku-Point Lookout. Ezinsukwini ezicacile, lokhu kubheke eceleni kweKaputeni's Inn Point Lookout (owawuyiPot Lookout Mountain Inn) inikeza imibono yamazwe amahlanu. Njengoba Umzila 23 uyaqhubeka ukukhuphuka, uzongena eCatskill Park, indawo engamahektare angu-700 000 (cishe enkulu njengeRhodde Island) eyakhiwa yizizinda ezizimele nezomphakathi emazweni amane.
Njengoba ipaki yasungulwa ngo-1885, ukubamba kukahulumeni, okuvikelwe ngaphakathi kweCatskill Forest Preserve, kuye kwanda kusuka ku-34,000 kuya ku-300,000 amahektare. Njengoba kunezintaba ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalombili ezidlula izinyawo eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu, amaCatskills angenye yezindawo zasebusika ezithandwa kakhulu eNew York; I-Windham, ekhaya le-skiham Mountain ski area, ingowokuqala kwamadolobhana amaningi we-cheery ski oyohlangana nawo.
Njengoba usondela ePrattsville, uzobona iPratt Rock, enye yezindawo ezikhangayo ezihamba phambili. UZadock Pratt, owafika kumaCatskills njengomfana omncane, wasebenza kanzima futhi ehlambalaza waze wakwazi ukuvula i-tannery eSchoharie Creek, esebenzisa inqwaba yamagxolo e-hemlock, okubalulekile ekwenzeni isikhumba. Ngangakapheli iminyaka engamashumi amabili, wayesebenzela i-fortune, wakha idolobha lonke, wavula ibhange lapho azakhela khona imali yakhe, futhi wanqoba isikhundla eCongress. Ngokusho komgwaqo wendawo, lapho i-stonecutter ephahlazekayo idabula ngo-1843, uPratt wamnika amasenti angamashumi amahlanu ukudweba iphrofayli yakhe emgodini wezintaba. Ejabule ngomphumela, wathumela indaba yakhe yonke yokuphila ehlongozwe ebusweni bomhlaba. Izivakashi ezikhuphuka ngenyokaine e-Pratt Rock zizobona ihhashi, i-hemlock nezinye izimpawu, kuhlanganise nejazi likaPratt lezingodo zakhe: "Yenza kahle futhi ungabazeki."
Lokho okwaqala njengesikhumbuzo saba yize kwaba isikhumbuzo endodaneni eyodwa kaPratt, uGeorge, i-Civil War colonel, obhejane wakhe wanezelwa odongeni lwamadwala angamakhulu amahlanu ngemuva kokufa e-Battle of Manassas. Ngaphandle kokuba indlalifa embusweni wakhe, uPratt akakhunjulwa ngaphesheya kwemingcele yedolobha aguqule, kodwa ePrattsville, lapho ikhaya lakhe lalingu-1829 manje liyiZadock Pratt Museum, uhlala engumlando.
Uzodlula izindawo zokudoba zomphakathi njengoba ulandela umzila we-23A East eduze neSchoharie Creek egcwele amanzi e-Hunt naseTannersville, amadolobha amabili enhle asezintabeni ezihamba nezivakashi ngesikhathi sasebusika, ukudoba kwezinhlanzi, imikhosi yasehlobo kanye nokuwa kweqabunga izinkathi zaseHunter Mountain. I-complex-catching, imisedari yemithi yemisedari oyothola ngakwesobunxele ngaphambi kokuba ufike eHunter yiSt. John uMbhapathizi iSonto LamaKatolika lase-Ukrainian. I-basilica ka-1962 nezinye izakhiwo zakhiwa ngaphandle kwezipikili, ngesitayela sezakhiwo zendabuko yase-Ukraine. Izivakashi zingakhipha isitshalo se-Ukraine emaqenjini eSonto ehlobo.
Njengoba umgwaqo 23A wehlela eHaines Falls, bukela ngakwesobunxele ku-North Lake Road / County Road 18, lapho uzothola khona ukungena eNyakatho-South Lake: ibhishi lomhlaba, indawo yezempi nokugcina.
Abahamba ngezinyawo abalandela umzila we-Escarpment ukuze baqonde amaphuzu afana neDwala lomculi kanye nesayithi le-Catskill Mountain House-eyayiba ngabaengameli abathathu phakathi kwezivakashi zayo eziphakeme phakathi kuka-1824 no-1941-bayothola imibono eyenziwe embukisweni ngabadwebi base-Hudson River School kuhlanganise noTomas Cole, ubaba walesi sikole sokuqala somdwebo we-landscape wokuqala waseMelika.
I-Kaaterskill Falls , i-Waterfall yase-New York ephakeme kunazo zonke ezinamanzi amabili kanye nomunye wesithombe esinezithombe eziningi, ingafinyelelwa ngendlela ehlukanisa emgwaqeni we-Escarpment, noma ungaqhubeka ngamakhilomitha angu-3 ngaphesheya kweNorth Lake Road ku-Route 23A ukuya ngakwesokudla indawo yokupaka. Qaphela lapho uhamba ngendlela ehamba phambili emigwaqweni emincane ye-Bastion Falls, esendaweni ye-trailhead ye-rocky and rooty, i-mile-mile elinganiselayo ekhuphukela eKaaterskill Falls. I-cascade ephindwe kabili ngamamitha angu-26 isesimweni sayo esabekayo kakhulu entwasahlobo, lapho kuqhathaniswa iqhwa neqhwa ukwandisa ukuqhuma kwamanzi phezu kwezingqimba ezinamatshe.
Umzila we-23A uthatha ezinye izinto ezijabulisayo uma uqhubeka nokuya kweCatskill. Ngaphambi kokuba ulandele uMzila 23 EMpumalanga ngaphesheya kweRip Van Winkle Bridge, jikela ngakwesokunxele ungene e-Spring Street / Route 385. Ukuvakasha kwekhaya likaClele kanye ne-studio eThomas Cole National Historic Site kuhlinzeka ngokuqonda umsebenzi ophawulekayo walesi siNgisi esizifundisayo kakhulu, Ukuboniswa kokuqala kwamaCatskills, owadwetshwa ngo-1825, wathatha iNational York City art art ngesiphepho. Abanye abaculi abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa babezolandela ukuhola kukaCole, bakhiqize imidwebo ekhanyayo futhi enemininingwane eminingi eyakha ukuhlonipha ubuhle bezigcawu zaseMelika eziyingqayizivele.
Ngemva kokuwela ebhange lasempumalanga ye-Hudson, vakashela emzini kaFrederic Edwin Church, umfundi kaCole kanye nomunye wabadwebi abaqeqeshiwe kakhulu esikoleni. Eyaziwa ngemifula yakhe enkulu, umsebenzi omkhulu weSonto kwakuyi-Olana, indawo ayidala ngosizo lomklami uCalvert Vaux. Ethonywa yizakhiwo zobuMoor ayezibonile eMpumalanga Ephakathi, iSonto lakha indlu ecebile ekuthungeni nombala, futhi wakha futhi wandisa phakathi kuka-1870 no-1890. Wanikeza namandla amakhulu ekudaleni imigwaqo yendawo ukuze izigcawu ezikhangayo ama-Hudson namaCatskills ayevezwe ngokubala.
Njengoba ujabulela la ma-vistas, ngokungajabuli lutho olushintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uzoqaphela ukuthi ngisho noma u-Rip osemdala esebenzile iminyaka engamakhulu ayishumi, wayezobe ehla ezintabeni, ehlabezele intshebe yakhe ngokuphazamiseka, kodwa evikelekile ulwazi lokuthi "kwakukhona amaNtaba eKaatskill-lapho kwakukhona khona i-Hudson yesiliva."
