Must-do hike in Upstate NY
✨ **Eternal Flame Falls Highlights** ✨ I visited **Eternal Flame Falls** in Chestnut Ridge Park, NY, this past Tuesday, and it was such a magical discovery! Hidden behind a gently trickling waterfall (at least when I was there), you’ll find a natural flame fueled by an underground methane seep.
