Synopsis

Rocky labyrinths, deep cool canyons, vast swamps alive with songbirds, quiet streams wandering through woods and meadows, sequestered waterfalls, charming nineteenth-century villages remarkable in their architecture and history - these are only some of the treasures presented in this revised, updated, and expanded edition of Somewhere to Go on Sunday. Two Great Lakes, the Niagara River, the Letchworth Gorge, and the Allegheny Mountains dominate and define the natural landscape, but there is much more to see and do on the Niagara Frontier.

The purpose of this guide is to introduce both residents and visitors to the natural beauty of Western New York and Southern Ontario. Special features of more than one hundred places are described in detail. Historical and geological summaries explain how they all came to be just the way they are. Easy to read, detailed maps (prepared especially for this volume) are provided, along with precise directions, to make getting to these natural wonders easy.

Illustrated with dozens of photos, drawings, and historic maps, Somewhere to Go on Sunday is an indispensible companion to those wishing to get outdoors and sample the wonders of the Niagara Frontier, from Akron Falls to Zoar Valley.
