Quick walk out to Shequaga Falls after a heavy snow squall. Finally got to see this 165-foot tall waterfall in all its glory. The lower slide-portion of the cascade can mesmerizing as it slowly sloops down the bedrock before quickly sliding off to form another free-fall cascade. Beautiful place in the Winter.
