Trip Lowdown

Over two nights and three days, you'll cruise scenic backroads, set up camp under starry skies, and soak in the natural wonders of the Finger Lakes. We're talking quiet waterfalls tucked away in the woods, the jaw-dropping gorges of Watkins Glen State Park, and the chance to geek out over glassblowing at the Corning Museum of Glass. And because this is the Premium Package, you're in for some extra perks. We're hooking you up with top-notch camping gear, so no need to stress if you don't have your own. Plus, you'll get VIP access to local wineries and breweries for some top-shelf tastings. It's the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and local flavor.

Easy Does It: Cruising Level 1 Roads

Don't sweat it if you're new to off-road driving – our Level 1 routes are a piece of cake for any trail-rated vehicle. We're talking well-maintained dirt and gravel roads with gentle grades and minimal obstacles. You'll get to test your wheels on some fun terrain without worrying about scraping your undercarriage or needing a winch. Our guides know these roads like the back of their hand, so they'll keep you on track and share some local know-how along the way. It's the perfect intro to overland travel without the white-knuckle factor.

Camping in Comfort

Forget roughing it – we're talking cushy camping here, folks. With the Premium Package, you're getting the good stuff: roomy tents, comfy sleeping pads, and cozy sleeping bags that'll make you forget you're not in a hotel. No need to pack your entire garage – we've got you covered with camp chairs, tables, and even a camp kitchen setup. Of course, if you're the type who loves their own gear, feel free to bring it along. We set up in some prime spots with killer views and plenty of space to spread out. And the best part? You'll be swapping stories around the campfire with like-minded adventurers by nightfall.

Finger Lakes Highlights

This trip is all about soaking in the best of the Finger Lakes region. We'll cruise past rolling vineyards, crystal-clear lakes, and charming small towns that look like they're straight out of a postcard. At Watkins Glen State Park, you'll stretch your legs on trails that wind through moss-covered gorges and past 19 waterfalls – it's like stepping into another world. Over at the Corning Museum of Glass, you'll see master glassblowers in action and maybe even get inspired to try it yourself. And let's not forget the local flavors – with your Premium Package, you'll get to sample some of the region's famous Rieslings and craft brews. It's the perfect mix of nature, culture, and good old-fashioned fun.
