This was the location of the falls used in my new header photo. It was another dog-friendly park so we brought Wilson and Jimmy along for the hike. The trail worked its way along the downstream section of the falls. There were ample opportunities for the boys to dip their feet, but not really swim.......
The scenery along the way was quite impressive.....
It was another hot and humid day, but the destination was well worth enduring the heat. You were able to walk up quite close to the bottom of the falls and we got a nice heavy misting from the water as it splashed to the ground. The power of the falls also produced a strong breeze, that, mixed with the mist, was very pleasant!
I didn't take any really close-up shots as my camera did not need a drenching.
At 215 feet high, Taughannock Falls is the tallest waterfall in the northeast. While obviously nowhere near as broad as Niagara Falls, it is actually taller!
You could also drive up to an overlook above the falls to see it at a different angle.....
We went to one other state park while we were away. I don't have many photos from that excursion as the main trail was not dog-friendly and I didn't do a good job with my homework! We had brought the dogs along and so had to stay to the outer (almost boring) trail. It was hot and we were all a tad grouchy by the end of that one! But I'll share what I took in another post.....
Have a great weekend, Everyone!
