其他目的地

It's on the Helderberg Escarpment (an escarpment is a cliff or steep slope, and the Helderbergs are a group of mountains and hills west of Albany) and has some lovely trails, an Olympic-sized pool, playgrounds, lots of areas for picnics (including reservable outdoor pavilions) and great views of Albany and the Hudson-Mohawk valleys.

活动

活动

• 首都区苏格兰运动会于9月初在奥尔巴尼以西举行。运动会展示苏格兰文化，从风笛和鼓乐队到宴饮。您可以观看马术表演，通过家谱信息追溯您的根源，或者尝试传统的苏格兰服饰。虽然离苏格兰很远，但这个节日可能会让您初步了解您的下一个目的地可能是什么样子。
