    A walk with the hounds to Taughannock Falls. . . .


We'd like to invite owners and their hounds to take one of two walks with us on Sunday morning at beautiful Taughannock Falls State Park.
 
A Shorter Walk    For those who want to take a relatively short, easy stroll on Sunday to see these spectacular falls, we have the Gorge walk.  The path is nearly level and about 3/4 mile each way to the falls.
 

 

A Longer Walk    For those hardier souls and their hounds, we offer the Rim walk, which takes you around the rim of the gorge up to the top of the falls.  This walk to the top of the falls is about 2-1/2 to 3 miles in length and goes up about 400 feet in elevation, then back down to the start.
 
We have a NY State Park ranger to narrate the geologic history of Taughannock Gorge and Falls during our hound walk to the Falls.  She will also be available for questions at the Falls.
 

Time:        Circa 9:00 AM Sunday, July 27, 2008
 
Cost:        The New York State Parks charge $7 per carload to enter the park.  If you
                 are camping at one of the area parks, your entrance is free.
 
Location:   Taughannock State Park is about 9 miles north of Ithaca on Rt 89.  Follow
                  Rt 89 south from Seneca Falls or north from Ithaca to the park entrance.
