Creator's Key Takeaways
We just spent some time in upstate New York at the Fingerlakes area, and it is absolutely gorgeous.
This is a super easy walk. It's 3/4 of a mile, but it's all flat. Here's a lady with a walker, another lady with a cane. So, anyone can do this one, and it's so worth it.
We are definitely doing more than seeing waterfalls while we're here in the Fingerlakes, but there are quite a few of them.
Being on the water, near the water, it's just good for the soul.
