I'd be interested in that trip! With Shequaga, Aunt Sarah's, Excelsior, and Quarter Mile Glen -- not to mention Watkins Glen -- all right in that area (to name a few), we could even do a multi-falls trip.

Nice one Matt! :up: Im starting to get the itch, think I might try to check out Stemple Hill this weekend if weather pans out. Last year at this time, I had already been out to several falls and in the creeks with temps in the mid 40s up to the mid 70s. I like winter, I really do...but Im ready for Spring!

Work is underway on this page and I have a preliminary rough map up. I don't really recall much about the hike I did, and unfortunately although I tracked the hike on the GPS, I must have deleted the photos I took with so now I can't plot the upper falls correctly on the map. I'm not sure how far my maps extends beyond the last falls. It looks like I went pretty far.
The map is open to edit. Please contribute if you have any relevant info.

:popcorn:

It looks like you went pretty darn far is right. My gps app never did get converted (issues). Best guess? I'd say you covered them all. I look forward to getting there in the spring and will count.

When I was here last summer the trail along the north-rim was posted not too far above the bridge. Does anyone know how much of the gorge the town owns aside from the lower falls/parking area?

The land to the right of the trail is posted. It always has been, but it seems the trail itself, and that small sliver of land doesn't have signs. Not 100% sure though.
