Take a trip to the Finger Lakes

 I took a short trip this weekend to the Finger Lakes area of New York.This time I went to Ithica NY and to Taughannock Falls State Park and across the road to the shore of
Cuyuga Lake. This is a very nice place to visit.The lake is super clean ,the water is great
.Take a walk along the shore ,picknic,have fun.The park across the street has great hiking trails.Find the steps that go up the North rim trail,they seem to climb endlessly
upward(They are not that high but get a warm up before you do it).The trail makes a horseshoe around the rim of the falls and there are many great overlooks.On the other side the trail works its way down and you find another great set of stone steps.
 On the bottom you can just walk up the wide stone streambed and trail up the middle to the base of the falls.This is a great day trip.
 After you enjoy this stop on your way back to Ithica at the Glenwood Pines and have a great fish sandwich.Sit in the back and look  out the windows at the great finger lake below.
 When you get back to Ithica find your way up to Cornell University and find the great stone bridges that cross the gorges.It is very nice.
 Have fune and get out there.
