Much more scenic alternative:


QEW west.
Stop at Royal botanical gardens in Hamilton.
See Cootes bay, and the northernmost cormorant colony in America.


Welland Canal,
Niagra falls


Skip I90, instead:
Northeast on R Moses parkway along Niagra river,
East on 18 along the lakeshore (great views, many parks and beaches)
Connects up with Lake Ontario parkway about midway.
Continue to Rochester
See Charlotte beach and harbour by the lake
waterfalls and waterpower museum downtown.
Eastman house, and photography museum


Take I390 south.
If desired Detour rte 15 or 15A south of Rochester to see finger lakes
and pretty villages. Connect back to I 390 in Wayland.


Glass museum in Corning


Take rte 17/I86 east to NYC


For more excitment: Stop for Hiking/paddling in Catskill mountains.


Detour Rte 51 through Ellenville (excellent bakery with real old
ladies downtown just east of the Rte 51 bridge.)


Cross over the Shawagunks. Stop for best rock climbing in the east either
at the state park or Mohonk preserve.
Check out ice caves (Nature preserve administered, off mountain rd.
might still be closed but locals will tell you how to hike there)


Check out pine barrens (listed on WHO world heritage list)


Connect back to Rte 17. Bypass NYC somehow and then into NJ.


Cheers,
Martin


PS: NY State's got it! Good way to check it all out is to buy the DeLorme
Topo atlas and make sure you drive a different road each time.
I've got 150k on my Westy and 204k on the Quantum to prove it!
