Getting to the Finger Lakes in 4 hours takes a miracle, a helicopter, or sustained 90mph+ speeds

It does take more than 4 hours, but the drive is much easier than the 95 corridor so I never mind it as much. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit!

I’ve also done the Catskills in about a 4 hour drive

Catskills is 3-4 depending on where exactly you’re going

Any drive that includes the Schuykill expressway is neither easy nor fast, imo

Getting from Philadelphia to Ithaca can be done in four hours at normal speeds.
