Finger Lakes, New York

 Hubby and I enjoyed a short road trip to the Finger Lakes area of New York. Our first stop was in Montour Falls New York. Montour Falls is 238 miles and close to a 5 hour drive from home.  In Montour Falls we saw 3 named waterfalls just off the road. Seeing a waterfall after a heavy rain is actually the best time. We originally planned this trip back at the beginning of May, but they were having too much rain.  

This is the She-Que-Ga Falls, it can be found at the end of Main St in Montour Falls New York. We had perfect weather and skies during our 3 night 4 day trip. 

There is a small park area in front of the waterfalls with some benches for enjoying the view. 

The She-Que-Ga Falls almost looks like it is going into the back of the town hall in Montour Falls NY. The scene below is used at the beginning of the Hallmark Mystery Movie Series called Aurora Teagarden. 

I am not sure the id on this duckling. It was seen alone in the pool of the bottom of the waterfalls. 

Aunt Sarah's Falls right on Route 14 in Montour Falls. 

This is Hector Falls found on Rt 414 not far from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. 

A view of the sky and Seneca Lake,  Watkins Glen NY. The Finger Lakes area is named for it's series of long thin lakes and lots of vineyards. We visited parks and waterfalls around these lakes, Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and Keuka Lake. 

We spent 3 nights at a hotel at the top of Keuka Lake. This was the view from our hotel. 

Thank you for all your visits and comments.
