    Today we get to talk about the last waterfall in the Waterfall Wednesday blog series!  We’re back at Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg, New York one last time for Lower Falls.   I think I take for granted sometimes growing up in the region and being familiar with the pronunciation…

    Unnamed Falls Buttermilk Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    This week we go to an unnamed waterfall in Buttermilk Falls State Park that almost wasn’t part of my 50 New York Waterfalls project.  I was conflicted about including an unnamed waterfall in the project when all the other waterfalls were main features with their own names.  Ultimately decided this…

    If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember me previously mentioning Sweedler Preserve and my little mishap with reading the map (reread here).  I’ve been reading up on the waterfall and the trails in this preserve and there are many young, experienced hikers that have commented on…

    Rainbow Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    “In one place in the island of Hawaii, we saw a laced and ruffled cataract of limpid water leaping from a sheer precipice fifteen hundred feet high; but that sort of scenery finds its stanchest ally in the arithmetic rather than in spectacular effect. If one desires to be so…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Upper Triphammer Falls

    June 12, 2019 /
    Triphammer Upper Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    I haven’t quite pinned down why this waterfall is one of my favorites.  Maybe it’s because it falls at angular steps.  Maybe it’s because it’s in such an urban setting.  Maybe it’s because it satisfies some need to find out where things start.  Maybe it’s the beautiful lake and waterlilies…

    Today we’re back in Ithaca, New York to look at Businessman’s Lunch Falls.  Way back on week three of this Waterfall Wednesday series (we’re now on week 42) I shared about Van Natta Falls which is the waterfall at the top created by a man-made dam.  There are three natural waterfalls below…

    Do you know what Minnesota and New York have in common?  They both have a waterfall named Minnehaha Falls.  But do you know which came first and what inspired the name? We’re back again in Watkins Glen State Park today to talk about Minnehaha Falls.  I must admit that this…
