I have to admit driving in New York is downright boring compared to West Virginia. The roads are so flat, so straight, and so wide.

But then again, New York’s mountains have wide valleys, and it’s rare that a road has to traverse a narrow canyon or do any kind of significant climbing. Few major highways climb over mountains in New York.

County Route 47 in Catskills near Winnisook Lake at 2,680 elevation is the highest elevation all season highway in New York. There aren’t a lot of high elevation roads in New York for sure. The highest Interstate in New York is Southern Tier Expressway in Almond at 2,110 elevation
