The Falls were breathtaking. We were heading elsewhere, so just passing thru. I mentioned i had never been to Montour Falls, NY. So we stopped. The first look was unbelievable. I couldn't get to my camera quick enough. All i saw was the falls straight ahead of me in this cute little bitty town. from the parking spot to the falls is right in my pictures. Yes, it's a park. But i didnt see anything bigger than what my pictures show you. Unless there is an actual parking lot somewhere that I did not see, you can not stay long.

The falls are very impressive and there's an imposing bridge at the top. We went after it had rained a good deal and there was a decent amount of water. You can visit at night and they have lights on the falls. This is a must stop location if you...
