Prelude to a Waterfall

Bastion Falls Photo - NY Waterfall

Although definitely a prelude to Kaaterskill Falls, Bastion Falls is beautiful in its own right.

Although it is much smaller than Kaaterskill Falls, Bastion Falls is a lovely prelude to the dramatic cascade that lies deeper within the forested Catskills. Be sure you're not so anxious to reach Kaaterskill Falls that you fail to stop for a moment to appreciate Bastion Falls, shown in this photo.

Keep in mind, as well, that if some of your travel companions will not be able to make the hike to Kaaterskill Falls, they can still enjoy Bastion Falls, as it is visible from Route 23A.
