NYC in ´Google's Top 10 Most Searched Photogenic Spots in the US in 2022´

For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later).

Upstate Ithaca: a place of gorges, greenery, gardens - and goats

  With a population of just over 32,000, in Upstate's Finger Lakes region on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, a 3½-hour drive from capital Albany and a bit over four hours from New York City, Ithaca is a prominent college town but also a a “gorges” city. I say that because it's surrounded by rocky gorges, many of them with waterfalls - more than 150 within a ten-mile radius. Within the city limits themselves, a one-third mile hike uphill – the Cascadilla Gorge Trail -- is exhilarating not…

    Come and stay with us in the beautiful White Church Valley, where you can hear the birds singing all day.  Enjoy a walk on nearby The Finger Lakes Trail, or on our own trails in our woods. We are a short 15 minute drive to Cornell University,  and Ithaca College. In Ithaca walk the gorge trails and see the waterfalls. Several NY State Parks are nearby and also the Six Mile Creek Winery.

    There IS life on the other side of the Hudson River...Come experience Corning, New York and the Finger Lakes Wine Country.   Visit the Corning Museum of Glass to make your own ornament, tour the vineyards to sample award winning wines, fly high in a glider plane or enjoy the sunset at a lakes side restaurant.  At Rosewood Inn, we are waiting to pamper you!
