This iconic footbridge and waterfall is cherished by generations of Cornell students and alumni. When you hike Cascadilla Gorge you traverse 400 feet of elevation from the foot in Ithaca, New York through the climb out onto the Cornell University Campus. In that quarter mile are six major water falls. Here is pictured a stone arch footbridge over the creek behind a fall near the mid-point of the walk. The bridge is a favored meeting and gathering place, students set up their easels and friends chat. On a perfect September afternoon I set up mid-creek and waited for the perfect moment captured here.
