Waterfalls around Watkins Glen, NY

A few falls around Watkins Glen we did in the afternoon.  Take a selfie stick if you want pictures together.
 Hector Falls

 Excelsior Glen - the hard one to get to probably.




 Aunt Sarah Falls - not much water when we stopped by

 Shequaga Falls



 Deckertown Falls


 Havana Glen - Eagle Cliff Falls




 Park where we ate our picnic lunch.


Watkins Glen, NY Waterfalls

Watkins Glen - the highlight of the trip & maybe my favorite hike of all times.  The nice thing was it wasn't a hard hike.  It probably would be slippery if wet out.  I recommend a selfie stick to get photos of the group since you don't know if you will see people to take one for you.






















Robert Treman State Park - near Ithaca, NY

We saw a few falls here.  We went to the lower falls area.  You could hike up to Lucifer Falls but we had already hiked a lot so we drove & then hiked down to it.  Just breath-taking.  I recommend a selfie stick to get photos of the group since you don't know if you will see people to take one for you.
