Upstate New York was beautiful. Quiet farm land with pristine forests. We visited some sites in Palmyra from the history of my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A grove where an early prophet had a vision of God, the Sacred Grove was gorgeous. I loved the way the light peaked through the trees.
I love waterfalls, and Niagara was so powerful and majestic. I would recommend taking the boat tour and going down the elevator to right in front.
