Up from Sentry Bridge
Watkins Glen is arguably the most spectacular of the Ithaca area gorges. This first video is an extended sequence of clips from the Sentry Bridge at the beginning of the gorge trail up through the Cavern Cascade, which the trail passes under. There'd just been some heavy rain so the creek was running high.

Down Through the Thin Falls

Upper Falls
Taughannock Falls Park has an upper falls and upper gorge as well as the main gorge and falls. The upper falls are not so high but are much closer to a viewing point, which is a footbridge that passes almost right over it. It takes a video to really see the thing.
The first clip shows the falls at an ordinary level of water flow. The next two were taken after heavy rains. The last after even more rain.
