New York City to Niagara Falls
NYC to Niagara Falls - Komoot Route Jun 10, 2023 This cycling trip from New York City to Niagara falls follows the Hudson River Valley north from New York City to Albany and then west along the Erie Canal Trail to Buffalo (or Niagara Falls) - a distance of about 806 km (557 miles). I had postponed the trip several times for various reasons. This time I feared it might be postponed once again due to the thick smoke from Canadian wildfires which blanketed the state of New York. News reports cautioned about the dangers of outdoor activities like cycling. Fortunately, at the last minute some rain and a change of wind direction led to a marked improvement in air quality. So, I carefully packed the minimal amount of cycling necessities and headed to the airport for my non-stop flight from Portland, Oregon to New York's JFK airport. Alaska Air checked in my bicycle at no extra cost. I arrived at my hotel in the Jamaica area of Queens at 11 pm. June
