Prattsville is just about 20 minutes south of us that houses Jim's Great American, that is the nearest full grocery store. There is also an Ace hardware there.

Sightseeing
Pratt Rock
Climb up to see stone carvings and view of the valley
Vroman's Nose not only encompasses the basic easy and difficult trails, but also notes of interest. These include the summit, which is a large, flat surface left by glacial movements. A very wide view of Schoharie Valley is seen from here. The hike is also sight of historical value. There is also a location near the summit that may have been used by Patriot snipers during the Revolution.
It isn't a long hike (1.7 miles) and it is pretty much straight up. We have seen a lot of smaller children on the trail so it seems doable for them too.

One of the more popular site seeing in our area is Mount Utsayantha and her fire tower. Named after a local Indian woman, her story is tragic but the mountain views are spectacular and great for a picnic. (they have tables as well as BBQ grates!) Climb the firetower yourself if you're not afraid of heights!
