Shelving Rock Falls, Fort Ann, NY (0.8 out and back). A pleasant walk with a stream and wetlands on one side and a rocky forest on the other to an impressive waterfall. The trees here are amazing. Next time we’re planning to do the summit trail.

Auger Falls, Wells, NY. (1 mile total out and back, 157’ elevation). A very peaceful walk along the river through beautiful woods and past the rapids we made it to a roaring waterfall with a rainbow at the bottom and a spectacular gorge. The trees smell like Christmas.

There’s even an office area if you need one and fast internet.

Price: NY. $246/2 nights.
