The Durham Valley Scenic Byway spotlights a region where mountains begin quite dramatically with the Catskill Escarpment rising up suddenly from the Hudson Valley. Designated as Scenic Roads "of extraordinary scenic quality" by Environmental Conservation Commissioner Thomas C. Jorling in 1991, the Byway traverses a unique landscape. The corridor management plan will serve as a resource management guide and present strategies to conserve and interpret the Byway's diverse resources, as well as promote tourism and economic development.
