People who are true rock climbing enthusiasts would probably rate this higher than me, but because…read moreI am out of practice and at a begginer level, I find the cost to be too expensive. If you're a regular climber and have the endurance to make several climbs in a night, then it's probably worth it for you. I usually only end up doing a few climbs before my hands get tired, or before I hurt my neck looking down. That being said, they offer shoe and harness rentals for an additional cost, and they do have membership options. There is also a summer camp/break camp offered for kids. I know they've offered weekend yoga in the past but not sure if that's still applicable. And in addition to standard climbing, there are a few auto belay climbs and a high ropes course as well. The best part about coming here is the owner's dog, Daisy, freely roams and hangs out.

This place has charmed its way into my heart. Before coming to RIT, I mainly top roped off and on…read morefor about a year with my bf - quite a feat for someone terrified of heights. One of the only reasons I kept going was because I was halfway decent at it. That being said, I'd only ever been to one gym (Planet Granite, San Francisco) and a small handful of outdoor spots. The first time I walked in I was dismayed that only the bouldering section was open and that that the majority of the climbs were on plywood. Not having extensive experience, I was certain that my shoes wouldn't be able to grip and that I'd slip and fall to my doom. During this first time, I also witnessed a girl fall and sprain her ankle badly enough that the school medics had to be called. I made a mental note about how professionally and quickly the gym handled the situation should I ever be so unlucky. After climbing nearly twice a week since January, I love this gym. I love how it has no heat (nice and empty when it's only 15 degrees outside!) and that I can't find the difficulty labels for most of the problems (who doesn't love a challenge?). A lot of the routes feel reachy to me, but that's probably a function of me being short and climbing weird. It doesn't smell as crazy as other gyms but we'll see once it starts warming up. The absolute best part is that it's only $20 a quarter for students. Can't beat that price! I'm looking forward when to when they open up the second floor - anyone need a belay partner? :D

We got dropped off on King Road near the upper-park lot. The shady Gorge Trail off the west end of the bridge was mostly-downhill, past Heart Pond and the small Pinnacle Falls. Those were about a quarter of the way. The rest was always within hearing if not within sight of the musical stream and the sometimes-chattering birds. There was some fencing to guard you from a cliff's edge, and a couple of stone stairways to climb. The reward was the gently-sloped but raucus Buttermilk Falls. The signs warn "No Swimming", which was tempting. We planned our pickup right there, off NY-13 Elmira Road by the State Park office and parking lot. A lovely serene 1-mile walk. Another gift from Ithaca.

You can use the receipt to enter any NY state park on the same day.

Robert H. Treman State Park was the last of the state parks in the Finger Lakes we visited a week…read moreor so when we spent the Fourth of July in the area, and it was a great way to say goodbye to the region. The park encompasses both sides of Enfield Creek and has several options to enjoy. At one end of the park is the Upper Park Entrance. This entrance has the Old Mill and access to all three hiking trails and is closer to the Lucifer Falls. (If you want to see Lucifer Falls without a hike, park at the Upper Entrance and you're not too far from Lucifer Halls - an easy flat walk to it, really.) The other end of the park is the Lower Park Entrance. It has camping areas (well used over the Fourth of July weekend when we visited - we saw tons of families enjoying the holiday weekend here), access to the Gorge Trail and Rim Trail, the Lower Falls (a waterfall with a swimming hole at the base - the swimming pool even has a diving board!), and everything else you need for a day of swimming and exploring (bathrooms with showers, picnic pavilions, etc.). We parked at the Lower Park Entrance (the lot was almost empty around 9am on a Sunday morning - even though it was a holiday weekend) and started off on the Gorge Trail, which is a 2.12 mile hike along Enfield Creek. This was probably the hardest hike we did at any of the state parks we visited over this holiday weekend (Watkins Glen, Buttermilk Falls, and Taughannock Falls). It was steep. I also didn't think it had the best views for the first mile - you're not quite as close to the water or *in* the gorge as you are on some of the other Gorge Trails. But once we got down to the creek, the views were beautiful (a few small falls), and it wasn't as crowded as the other trails either. (FYI: it was buggy and humid and hot, so if the weather is hot, definitely start early.) I had read on AllTrails that the hike up to Lucifer Falls was tough, so I was a little worried. But actually I didn't find it the hardest part of the hike at all. And Lucifer Falls was absolutely the highlight of the hike and the park for us. It's a 115-foot waterfall and it sort of winds and meanders in this incredible way - different from the other falls we saw on our Finger Lakes hikes. If you're visiting the park, do not miss Lucifer Falls. We returned to the Lower Entrance on the Rim Trail, which wasn't as beautiful as the Gorge Trail, but ended up being a treat, too, for a surprising reason. The Rim Trail didn't take us back to where we had parked our car. It does take you near to the Lower Entrance, but on the South side of the Creek. So when you finish the trail, there's a sign telling you how to get back to the Lower Entrance Parking, and that way back happens to take you past the Lower Falls. So we got to see the Lower Falls - tons of people swimming and diving (with plenty of lifeguards, too). We now know to save some time for a swim at the base of the Lower Falls the next time we visit this park! There are a lot of great parks, hikes, and trails in the Finger Lakes, but I really enjoyed our visit to Robert H. Treman State Park. Lucifer Falls is special, and the park was a great way to get some exercise and get some amazing waterfall shots, too.
