Sure... you can't fool someone with a photographic memory. ;)
Definitively the greatest waterfall destination on earth. Same geological process as Jiuzhagou, only several hundred thousand years more mature.
Interestingly enough... give some of the gorges near Syracuse more time, and they will eventually start transforming into valleys like this.

I have a picture just need to pull from my phone... There's a natural water slide if you follow the trail too

I plan on a major update this August which will clean up the database and map and make it all easier to read/follow

I searched the boards, but didn't find anything for this massive looking falls.

Inman Gulf, Rainbow Falls, Jefferson County

It's the 7th hike listed.

Hello -

I don't believe you have Spruce Creek Falls on your list. It is a small waterfall in the town of Salisbury Center, a little po-dunk town just off the NYS Thruway north of Utica.
The creek has a covered bridge from 1875 and is a delightful little park with picnic tables. I highly recommend visiting if you are on the Thruway going past Utica. It's a nice stop off to break up a long drive, have some lunch and enjoy the falls and covered bridge.

Here some more info about the falls.

My apologies - I previously posted about Spruce Creek Falls in Salisbury Center.

They are not north of Utica as I mentioned, they are on route 29 just slightly NE of Little Falls, NY. Sorry for the wrong location.
