The 10 Best Geologic Formations in New York, United States
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

We picked apples someplace else and then found this place on the way home. I loved the store. Delicious baked goods (I loved the m & m cookie). Jams, Amish labeled popcorn, apples, squashes, cider, etc. next year we,re going to go here and pick some apples in the field. This place is for people who want to buy goods or pick apples, etc. There's no games for young kids.

Great options for families of all ages as well as for the more adventurous! Cafe, gift shop, campground, cabins & motel on-site.

1. Start early 2. Bring some good anti-slip shoes and water-proof Jacket 3. Take the Classic tour (includes a raft tour) 4. Leave your Camera and valuables in your car/hotel room – there are no lockers onsite 5. Bring a GoPro with you to catch all the scenery without worrying We were visiting on a Sunday so started really early in the morning. Took the - Classic Tour that includes a breathtaking hike through the upper chasm followed by a scenic float (via raft) through the lower chasm on the legendary waters of the Ausable River (30$ per person- put on your wristband so it’s visible). After a short walk to the rainbow falls view point – take the detour to see the elephant’s head - that’s the best angle! follow the yellow trail (inner sanctum), continue with the trail that leads you through the chasm to the rafting dock. We waited about 30 min to the raft to fill and went out on the raft (if you can snag the first 2 seats do it for the best views). There was barely a stream (October) so the ride was very easy going and pleasant – we hardly got wet at all! It was a very special perspective seeing the chasm from this angle – highly recommended to add the bucks for the raft ride! On the end of the ride you can walk but we chose to take the shuttle back to the visitor center. We spent about 3 hours in total – it was a very busy day full with guided tours and would have been so much nicer with fewer crowds… but do it anyway! After all – this is the oldest nature attraction in America :)

The self-guided tour is easy to follow. It can be tricky, with some tight squeezes, steep steps, and light rock scrambling. I recommend borrowing a complementary walking stick for anyone that is concerned about the rocky /uneven terrain. This place is not too far from Lake George, and online reservations were easy. Some areas on the trails are a dead end, (because of covid) you wait until it's clear... go down, check it out and double back. Make sure You follow the map and numbers and dont miss anything. The gift shop has alot of variety, and theres a snack shop too. It really was interesting, a decent workout and a perfect way to spend a few hours in the shade.

We had a great day hike here. Total trail distance from the trailhead entrance off 202 to the top and back is around 1.8 to 2.5 miles depending on if you explore a little more at the top. Beautiful views from the top where there is an American flag and painted rocks dedicated to local law enforcement and firefighters. Part of the trail intersects with the Appalachian Trail. Can be wet and slippery depending on the season but the trail is always maintained exceptionally well and well marked. Can be busy on the weekends. From the top you’ll get a one of a kind view of the Bear Mountain Bridge. Total trip time was approximately 2 hours walking at a steady and easy pace with a 15 minute stop at the summit to take pictures and enjoy the view of the bridge and the Hudson River.

There's a well-known spot down the road from here that you may have heard of, but if you go there instead, you're missing the forest through the trees brother. Think of that spot as like, Target. Yeah it's big, it's well know, they got frills and parade out all the gimmicks, but are you getting quality products? This spot here, this is your boutique shop. This is you quality product curated by the experts. What's great about this cavern is that one can get some pretty dope pics down there, touch the various formations, and really take their time with all that there is to see. It's a very chill environment. The hosts are mad cool, they know their history (or maybe I fell for it) and seem to enjoy showing off the goods. The waterfall at the end of the cavern is a great climax to the tour. The gift shop also has a wide variety of knickknacks and gimmicks, along with coffee, which one might need after a lengthy drive to this place from (possibly) a ways away.

We visited this gorge on a rainy day, but we still had so much fun! It was $28 for 2 adults, but worth it! It’s about a mile walk around in a loop and an optional nature trail that brings you through the woods a little. On the main trail you get gorgeous views of the falls, it literally takes you right up next to them! There are little picturesque bridges along the way as well. I would definitely go back!
