Hiking the Niagara Gorge at Devil's Hole State Park

A friend and I decided today would be a good day to be adventurous and go hiking! I've been wanting to check out the scenery here, so we headed to Devil's Hole State Park to hike the Niagara Gorge.




There were steep stairs to climb down to get to the trail. The trail is a dirt path that runs on the edge of a precipice above the water. In some places the rocks have fallen and you have to climb over/around them to get back on the trail.


On one end, the trail stops at the Whirpool where you can put your feet in the ICE cold water and stare at Canada!






On the other end is Devil's Hole which is a cave. There have been many cave-ins as you can see by the boulders blocking the entrance. I imagine it was a much deeper cave at some point. We did climb in to check it out, and cool off! The day was very warm, but the cave was cool and breezy.
