The side of New York no one really talks about…

New York State is full of stunning gorges, waterfalls, lakes and forests so here are a few of my favorites that don’t get enough attention👇🏼 

🧗 Ausable Chasm
This natural gorge is nicknamed the Grand Canyon od the east and has a variety of outdoor activities to choose from including hiking, rock climbing, a via ferrata, rafting, and tubing trips 

🔦 Howe Caverns 
This is a commercialized tour of a massive cavern that includes a 40-60 minute walking tour and a 15 minute boat ride

🌳 Letchworth State Park
This spot is ALSO knowns as the Grand Canyon of the east and is a beautiful state park full of waterfalls and lush greenery 

🔥 Eternal Flame
This waterfall hike features an endlessly burning flame behind the water that’s to a natural gas leak. The trail is located near Buffalo NY making it a great place to visit while in western New York

💦 Secret Caverns 
This more primitive and rugged tour takes you to an underground waterfall after walking through a tight cavern for about 30-40 minutes 

🌿 Watkins Glen 
This stunning state park is located in wine country and the main trail takes you past 19 waterfalls in two miles - a must see!
