The falls were very impressive, with a drop of 215 feet. We walked the lower (easier) trail to view them, which was probably a good idea since the trail was muddy and slippery because of the fallen leaves. We also drove to a higher lookout point after our hike, to view the shelf above the falls.

Ithaca NY, Day 1: Taughannock State Park and Falls
No trip to Ithaca is complete without a visit to Taughannock State Park in Ulysses NY and its breathtaking falls.

The pictures are gorgeous! It's so nice to see water! (I love the stacked rocks!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll have more pictures to post (probably on Tuesday). It's ironic that I don't like being in water, but I love being near it. Creeks are probably my favorite. I like the sound of running water.
