Did you know one of the tallest waterfalls in America is in New York ? ▫️ ▫️ Located inside 📌 Taughannock Falls State Park is a 215-foot waterfall that you can walk right up to the base with your dog! (*Only experienced trained dogs as the noise and water pressure can be scary to most dogs*) 🥾 To get to the base of Taughannock Falls - take the Gorge Trail: (0.75-mile) easy walk for anyone. The Gorge Trail stays open year round, but the other trails remain open from April - October. If you decide not to take the Gorge Trail, there is also the South Rim Trail (just over a mile long) and North Rim Trail (1.5-miles long) we did all 3! 👍🏼 🎥 This was during the 2021 August season - Hurricane Fred & Henri was not included in our plans but Taughannock waterfall was, for our last day in The Finger lakes. We were told the park was shut down for 2 days prior, so we’re lucky to get the full force from all the rain (see video) Did You Know ⁇ Exposure to a good splash of negative ions can positively affect your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, sleep, and mental state? 💁🏼 Bonus TIP : Go after the heavy storms the waterfall was even more powerful than the dry months… Every single person we met along the way was walking away with huge smiles! 💦💦💦 ⚠️ As always please remember to follow Leave No Trace principles when exploring the public trails and help keep our state parks beautiful 🌱 . #bringfido #taughannockfalls #taughannockfallsstatepark #dogfriendlyadventures #rescuedoglife #doghike #fingerlakesregion #dogfriendlytravel #iloveny #travelwithadog

Backyard of Cornell University🥹🎓🍁 Cascadilla Gorge is a picturesque natural area located on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, offering such beautiful scenery and a series of cascading waterfalls. 2 years ago, I visited during summer but Fall has its own MAGIC✨ I love my alma mater at University of Illinois as studying at Cornell would have made me sooo distracted all the time🥲🍁 Where have you seen a stunning University campus? I’m eagerly waiting to visit a few in UK!! 😍 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝐓𝐈𝐏𝐒 📍𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The Cascadilla gorge is situated on the Cornell University campus, easily accessible from downtown Ithaca. 🥾𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥: An easy 0.5-mile loop trail that starts at the Cornell campus near College Avenue and winds its way through the ravine. It’s a little steep, scenic trail with various bridges and steps, offering stunning views of waterfalls and lush greenery. ⚠️𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: Be cautious, especially if you’re visiting during or after rainfall, as the trail might be slippery. Respect the signs and barriers, and wear appropriate footwear for hiking. 📷 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲: Bring a camera or your smartphone to capture the beautiful waterfalls, bridges, and the natural beauty of the gorge. 🍁 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧: Open year-round, it is particularly stunning during the fall with foliage. Winter brings a unique icy beauty, though the trail might be closed for safety reasons during harsh weather. 👥 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝: This trail is a hidden gem & used by the University folks only! So you can visit anytime to enjoy the beautiful hike! ⏳𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: The entire trail takes less than 15 mins but you can easily spend 30-40mins depending on how much time you spend exploring and taking in the scenery. 💦 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: While in the area, you might also want to explore other natural attractions like Buttermilk Falls State Park or Taughannock Falls State Park for more outdoor adventures.
