By Fyllis Hockman
in :  Travel USA

Ithaca is a "gorges" city, and with 150 waterfalls within a 10-mile radius, it comes by its moniker honestly. Within the city limits itself, a one-third mile hike uphill - the Cascadilla Gorge Trail -- was not only exhilarating because of the trek itself, but for the vastness and variety of six different freely flowing floes of cascading waterfalls.

Mark Twain's study in Elmira College, New York
