Toughannock Falls NY *TRAVEL TUESDAY*

Today's blog post is another "Travel Tuesday" outside of New England. During my recent trip to the Finger Lakes Region of Upper State NY, we photographed many beautiful waterfalls. One of my favorites was Toughannock Falls.

The main fall has a 215 foot drop. It is the tallest single foot drop waterfall East of the Rocky Mountains. The waterfall is located along Toughannock Creek, which flows through a long gorge with cliffs up to 400 feet.

There is a falls overlook which is located directly off a road.

After we visited the falls from above, we drove down to the lower falls area.

Lower falls in harsh mid day light:

From the lower falls, we hiked a trail which follows the creek along the gorge. 

After about 45 minutes, we arrived at the base of the falls.

On the way out when we got back to the lower falls, there was a fly fisherman in the waterfall. Literally!

It was a perfect day!
