The Cascadilla Gorge hike is one of the most beautiful places to walk around near campus. With the multiple waterfalls and fall foliage the setting was very serene. All of a sudden, as we stopped to listen to some more interesting information provided by our tour guide Todd Bittner there was a loud noise. “La da da da da its the m*********** D-O-double G…” rang out into the gorge. I could not help but just laugh.  A usually calm and peaceful gorge sounded like a L.A. nightclub (like I would know what a L.A. nightclub would sound like). The gorge had surprisingly good acoustics. We moved on down the gorge and learned about how for seven of the last eight years the gorge was actually closed to the public because of renovation and how the gorge was formed with the geology associated with it.

I would definitely hike the gorge again. Walking through was very relaxing and helped to get my mind off of the work that I had to do. The music was fine, but I would prefer possibly Kanye or Jay Z.
