The trip down to the Chittenango Falls gorge could be easily depicted as a damp adventurous journey into a tropical, yet familiar jungle. The massive falls, with its numerous drops, saturates the surrounding air with the waters of Chittenango Creek, which on a hot day can make the climb all the more difficult. The plants and animals that inhabit the limestone walls are adapted to these humid conditions, and ferns and other moisture-loving species dominate the landscape.
