New York's Natural Wonders

New York is home to America’s earliest natural attractions. The granddaddy of all New York’s
natural attractions and wonders, Niagara Falls, should be on everyone’s bucket list. One of the world’s greatest natural wonders, Niagara is America’s largest waterfall, (which we share with our Canadian neighbors) throwing 1.5 million gallons of water off 173-foot Horseshoe Falls every second of every day, and leaving viewers awestruck. Letchworth State Park, just 100 miles east of Niagara, is called the Grand Canyon of the East and once you see its sheer 600-foot rock walls and thundering waterfalls, you’ll understand why. Other majestic waterfalls include Central New York’s Rexford Falls, Oriskany Falls, and 167-foot Chittenango Falls, sculpted by glaciers from 40 million-year-old bedrock. Spectacular 45-foot-high Canajoharie Falls graces a fossil-encrusted gorge in 72 acres of woodlands, while High Falls Gorge, in the shadow of Whiteface Mountain, spills the Ausable River over ancient granite cliffs.
