An established financial advisor and broker with Merrill Lynch in Ithaca, New York, Keefe Gorman has earned recognition from industry leaders such as Barron’s and Forbes. When he isn’t working, Keefe Gorman enjoys outdoor activities, such as hiking.
Hiking authorities that range from All Trials to the Outbound Collective have ranked Cascadilla Falls as one of the top foot trails within Ithaca city limits. Stretching from Cornell University to downtown Ithaca, this trail cuts a path through the scenic Cascadilla Creek Gorge.
Also known as Nine Falls, the Cascadilla Falls Trail follows the Cascadilla Creek as it drops 400 feet and plummets through nine waterfalls. The site of an ancient seabed, the area’s unique combination of shale, limestone, and sandstone allowed flowing water to create the beautiful waterfalls and sculpt striking rock formations. Although the Cascadilla Falls Trail stretches just over a mile in its entirety, All Trails rates this out-and-back trail as moderately difficult.
