Waterfalls, Wine & Winding Roads By Kerry Mastrobuoni
T
he best trips aren’t always the ones you’ve spent months planning. They’re the ones that happen on a random morning when you decide to throw a bag in the car, cue up a great playlist and head north. That’s exactly what I did. I headed to New York’s Finger Lakes. We made Montour Falls, just outside Watkins Glen, our home base, and it didn’t take long to understand the appeal. Vineyards covered the hillsides, wooded roads wound through small towns, and waterfalls seemed to appear around every bend. One of the first places to experience it all is Watkins Glen State Park. Walking the Gorge Trail feels like stepping into a storybook. Towering rock walls surround you as the trail winds over stone staircases, through tunnels and across bridges, with waterfalls cascading alongside you and, in some places, directly above. The gorge is about 400 feet deep and features 19 www.longislandmediagroup.com
dramatic waterfalls. Now, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: there are 832 steps along the Gorge Trail. Yes, you read that right—832. While you’re busy admiring the waterfalls and taking it all in, your legs may have a slightly different opinion. Don’t worry, though—your camera roll will thank you later. And Watkins Glen is just the beginning. The Finger Lakes are filled with gorges, trails and places worth pulling the car over for. Buttermilk Falls, Taughannock Falls and Robert H. Treman State Park are just a few more to put on your list. If chasing waterfalls is your thing, you could easily build an entire getaway around them. Eventually, those winding roads lead you back to what gives the area its name: the lakes. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that, as a lifelong New Yorker, I always thought there were only 5 Finger Lakes. Turns out, there are 11 major Finger Lakes, formed by glaciers as they carved deep
valleys into the landscape thousands of years ago. And they’re not all alike. Each lake has its own personality, surrounded by vineyards, farmland, charming towns, hiking trails and waterfronts. That variety is part of the fun.
That mix is what makes the area such an appealing getaway. You can hike beside a waterfall in the morning, spend the afternoon on the water, stop for a wine tasting and finish the day wandering through a small town.
Seneca Lake was a highlight for us. The largest of the Finger Lakes by volume, it reaches a depth of 618 feet, and seeing it from the water gave us a whole new appreciation for its scale. The hills and vineyards seem to stretch for miles along the shoreline.
Because sometimes the drive is part of the adventure.
Of course, where there are lakes and vineyards, there is wine—and plenty of it. With hundreds of wineries throughout the area, you won’t have to go far to find a tasting room. We visited Castel Grisch Winery, where things took a wonderfully whimsical turn with its dinosaurthemed attraction. It was quirky, playful and definitely not what I expected—a reminder that the Finger Lakes aren’t all about wine and waterfalls. There’s room here for a little imagination, too.
EDITION EIGHT
The best travel experiences can happen when you leave a little room for the unexpected. Take the scenic route. Stop when something catches your eye. Turn down the road that looks interesting and see where it takes you. For my nature seekers, road trippers, wine lovers and anyone looking for an escape without having to go too far, put the Finger Lakes on your compass. You’ll be glad you did. I’d love to hear from you! Share your travel tips, ideas and inspiration at Kerryscompass@ longislandmediagroup. com. Until next time, always let your compass lead you somewhere worth remembering.

Despite what many people think, the autumnal equinox is not an entire day. In fact, the equinox is a precise astronomical event. It occurs at the exact moment the sun crosses the celestial equator, an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth’s equator. • It’s not “equal night.” Although the word equinox comes from the www.longislandmediagroup.com

Fall Offers Endless Fun
A
s summer comes to an end, fall brings plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the season. Crisp air, colorful foliage, and cooler temperatures make it an ideal time to explore everything autumn has to offer. Apple orchards and pumpkin patches are among the season's most popular destinations. Spend a day picking fresh apples, finding the perfect pumpkin, and supporting local farms. Since orchards can be muddy and some are cashonly, it's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes and bring cash.
Family-Friendly Activities For Fall
F
all is a welcome season for many people. The cooler temperatures and still-ample sunlight mean there is plenty of time to enjoy the great outdoors even if summer has ended. Fall activities dot the calendar, with several different options for individuals and families to get involved. According to Acenda Integrated Health, incorporating family time into a schedule is crucial for a child’s development. It’s also key to have time to get a break from busy schedules. Fall is a great time to do just that with these activities. • Apple-picking: Few things are more refreshing than taking a bite out of an apple fresh off the tree. Orchards are bursting with apples this time of year, and an afternoon www.longislandmediagroup.com
spent picking apples is a great way to spend time together.
• Corn maze: Corn mazes may be set up adjacent to pumpkin patches, so the family can pick out the perfect pumpkin to carve and then try to navigate the maze.

Fall is also grape harvest season, making it a great time to visit local vineyards for tastings, tours, and seasonal events. If you're looking for scenic beauty, take a drive or hike to admire the brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow that transform the landscape each autumn. Many communities also celebrate the season with fairs and festivals featuring carnival rides, live entertainment, local food, craft vendors, and familyfriendly activities. Whether you're planning a weekend outing to an orchard, enjoying the changing leaves, or spending a day at a local fair, fall offers countless ways to enjoy the outdoors before winter arrives.
