I consider this is one of most unique park among all the
parks that I have ever hiked. Watkins
Glen State Park is voted #3 of the New York State Parks by public (voted no 3
by USA today pull), with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within
two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating
19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls
and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. According to the bus driver (who took us back
to where we started after have reached the end of the trail), the park consists
of 830 steps, over 70 stores in height. That
day, the outside temperature was near 90 F but the trail is mostly under shade
with cool breeze, so pleasant for hiking.
Presented here are some of the photos taken while throughout the gorge
trail.
