Mt. Morris, New York (Travel and Day 1)

For Thanksgiving this year I really wanted to go on a road trip somewhere. After debating going to Martha's Vinyard, Cape Cod, and a few other places, we decided to head upstate to Niagara Falls. I've always wanted to visit the falls so I was so excited to make this trip.

We stayed an hour and a half from Niagara in Mt. Morris, New York at a cute place called Allegiance Bed and Breakfast and had Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant in town.

Our first full day in Mt. Morris, we went to nearby Letchworth State Park and hiked around. It was really a beautiful park. The waterfalls we saw were fascinating, it looked like their base was made of slate.

The Upper Falls of the park was the most beautiful, with a bridge added into the scenery. It was cold enough that the falls were beginning to freeze and you could see the rock turning white with frost.

The Genesee river runs through the park and is what creates the falls. Over 100,000 years ago, the river eroded creating the valley seen below from the Gardeau Overlook.

We also spent some time stopping by a thrift store--always a must for me. I was excited to find a nice pre-lit Christmas tree for our apartment and some other Christmas decorations.

On the way back to the B&B we stopped by a creamery near the B&B and bought cheese and a snack stick to try.
