June offers the longest daylight of the year, perfect for late-evening waterfall views. Clothing: Pack light, breathable fabrics for hiking, but keep a waterproof jacket handy for the "Maid of the Mist" and sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Always carry a light sweater for the aggressive air conditioning in museums and restaurants.
