After I suffered through office hours and the remainder of my math homework today, I felt like I deserved something special. Luckily, the weather was lovely and I was able to rope Joe and Joanna into hiking the Cascadilla Gorge trail with me this afternoon. And, naturally, my camera joined me.
Considering the steepness of the trail and the number of drops the creek runs through, it’s no wonder Ithaca can claim to have 150 waterfalls within a 10 mile radius.
We can now officially mark that hike off our List of Things To Do Before Leaving Cornell. I’m hoping to make it back to the trail at least once before it gets closed off for the winter because I’m sure that there will be some great photos when the leaves change. Also, I still want to go wading there.

Very pretty! Reminds me of an area near our friends in Vermont.
It’s so pretty that you’re going to come visit before they close the trail off for winter, right?!
I dunno, when do they close it off? 😛
I’m guessing they close it off in mid-October, if not sooner. The paths are kind of wet even when it’s not rainy and things freeze a lot faster in the gorges than they do higher up.
